Things to check

  • Vehicle is 23 years old (registered Jan 2003), significantly increasing age-related wear.
  • MOT expired 2021-10-16; vehicle is currently untaxed and not valid for road use.
  • Low annual mileage (8,059 mi/yr) for a 23-year-old car suggests long periods of inactivity, accelerating component wear.
  • No recent MOT history since 2020, indicating the vehicle has not been legally on the road for years.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded across all 3 tests, indicating no dangerous defects.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (8,059 mi/yr) aligns with UK average.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) confirms high safety standards for its era.
