Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2012 (146,723 mi) and Nov 2013 (46,271 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased from 146,723 miles (2012-09-13) to 46,271 miles (2013-11-14) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Major failure for 'Exhaust catalytic converter missing where one was fitted as standard' (Jun 2022) — serious emissions system defect.
- Major failure for 'Nearside Front Road wheel fixing missing' (Jun 2022) — safety-critical suspension/steering failure.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates strong safety features for its era.
- No recurring failures on the same system across multiple tests — each failure was isolated.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,280 miles/year (pre-2012) — no sudden usage spikes.
