Things to check

  • MOT expired 2025-12-02; vehicle is currently unroadworthy and requires immediate retesting.
  • High mileage (229,195 miles) for a 2011 vehicle indicates significant wear and tear.
  • Recurring advisories for brakes (5 times) and tyres (2 times) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Multiple suspension advisories (front rubber bush deterioration) indicate potential future repair costs.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • No recorded MOT failures across 7 tests, indicating no immediate safety-critical defects.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending service intervals.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model year.
