Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jan 2020 (111,839 mi) and Mar 2021 (92,987 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased by 18,852 miles between Jan 2020 (111,839 mi) and Mar 2021 (92,987 mi).
  • Not valid MOT as of the report date, with a stated expiry of 2026-03-11, which is highly irregular for a 2012 vehicle.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (5 times) and suspension (3 times) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,987 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • No persistent DANGEROUS defects remaining after immediate retests, indicating issues were addressed.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or emissions.
