The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,337 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes detected.

Things to check

  • 6 test failures across 18 MOTs (Mar 2013, Apr 2010, Apr 2012, Mar 2014, Apr 2015, Apr 2016) show persistent issues.
  • Recurring brake failures (Mar 2013, Mar 2014) and tyre failures (Mar 2014, Apr 2015) indicate structural neglect.
  • High insurance group (44–47) makes this vehicle very expensive to insure.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies, averaging 7,337 miles/year.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT records.
  • The vehicle has a long history of MOT tests, providing a comprehensive record.
