Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-03, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Normal annual mileage (6,517 mi/yr) for its age, suggesting light use.
  • No recent major failures or advisories from the last MOT in 2025.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) for a 2006 model is excellent.
