The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,453 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though the 2010 failure date is concerning.
Things to check
- 2010-09-23: Failed MOT with no defect details provided, a serious concern for a 24-year-old vehicle.
- 2008-09-24 & 2009-09-22: 'Accident damage to rear of vehicle' advisory noted twice, indicating potential structural or impact history.
- Not ULEZ-compliant: A 24-year-old petrol vehicle will incur daily charges in London, significantly impacting future use.
- MOT expired 2011-09-23: The vehicle has been off-road for over 13 years, suggesting long-term storage or inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Consistent mileage: Average 9,453 miles/year is normal and shows no signs of tampering.
- No recurring failures: The single 2010 failure was immediately rectified, showing a responsive owner.
- Long MOT history: Despite the 2010 failure, the vehicle has maintained a valid MOT for most of its life.
