Things to check

  • Mileage dropped significantly from 2,543 miles/year (2019) to 1,617 miles/year (2020-2021).
  • MOT expired 2026-04-03; vehicle is currently on SORN with no active MOT.
  • Recurring advisories for brake hose, CV boot, and headlamp issues across multiple tests.

Working in its favour
