Things to check

- Critical mileage anomaly: 241-mile decrease between Sep 2019 (44,618 mi) and Oct 2019 (44,377 mi) — high fraud risk.
- Not currently MOT valid: Last valid MOT expired 2020-10-01; vehicle has been on SORN since 2019.
- Very low annual usage: Average of 2,498 miles/year suggests prolonged inactivity or potential odometer issues.
