The vehicle shows only 56,647 miles over 21 years, a significant anomaly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Suspension component ball joint likely to become detached (Sep 2007).
- MILEAGE FRAUD: 56,647 miles over 21 years is 98% below UK average, indicating potential odometer tampering.
- MOT STATUS: Vehicle has no valid MOT since 2009 and is currently Untaxed, making it illegal to drive.
- MILEAGE TRAJECTORY: Consistent low annual mileage (4,018 mi/yr) is a major red flag for odometer fraud.
Working in its favour

- No Recent Failures: The Feb 2019 test had only one minor failure (wiper), immediately rectified.
