The vehicle shows exceptionally high annual mileage averaging 12,629 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
Things to check
- 2010-03-13 FAILED MOT for Nearside Front CV joint and Offside Rear Tyre tread depth.
- May 2019 ADVISORY for Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit, escalating to DANGEROUS failure by Jun 2023.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (2011) and subframe advisories (2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- High annual mileage (12,629 miles/year) suggests heavy commercial or high-use driving, accelerating wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong safety features for its age.
- Consistent high mileage (245,986 miles) suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending service intervals.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2010 tyre failure.
- Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
