Things to check

  • No MOT history available for a 2008 vehicle, which is a major red flag.
  • First MOT recorded in 2011, not 2008, indicating a critical data discrepancy.
  • Mileage of 32,256 miles is extremely low for its age, suggesting potential issues.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Sep 2018) and engine oil advisories (4 tests) are concerning.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until August 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recorded MOT failures, suggesting no immediate safety-critical defects.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a safe vehicle.
  • Low annual mileage (1,826 mi/yr) may suggest light use and less wear.
