The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,555 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2012 advisory for a worn front tyre is noted.

Things to check

  • 2013-05-24 FAILED: Offside Rear Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (2.7.3) — a major safety defect.
  • 2014-08-05 ADVISORY: EGR Cooler Control Arm Broken Off — a significant wear item on a diesel engine.
  • 2012-05-29 ADVISORY: Nearside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1) — indicates a pattern of tyre wear.
  • 2013-05-24 FAILED: Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1) — another tyre failure.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 8,555 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No recurring major failures on critical safety systems (brakes, steering, suspension) since the 2013 shock absorber leak.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for this model.
