Things to check

- Vehicle is currently Untaxed and Not valid for MOT, requiring immediate action.
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass on 2022-11-30 with no current advisories.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,561 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good structural integrity.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the 2022 MOT test.
