The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 9,074 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- May 2015 FAILED MOT — vehicle is currently not roadworthy.
- 5 Major Brake Failures (2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015) — persistent and critical safety system.
- 4 Major Suspension Failures (2010, 2011, 2013, 2014) — repeated structural neglect.
- 2008 MOT GAPS — No MOT recorded for 2008, indicating potential off-road use or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent Mileage — Low annual usage (9,074 mi/yr) is consistent with readings.
- No Odometer Fraud — Mileage trajectory shows no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- Immediate Retests — All failures were addressed and retested successfully on the same day.
