The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,612 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2026): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- May 2026 MOT failure: DANGEROUS defect for rear brake pads, indicating critical wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2021, Apr 2022) and shock absorber advisories (May 2026) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Brake pad advisory (May 2025) escalated to dangerous failure (May 2026), a clear red flag for neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until May 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,612 mi/yr) aligns with UK average.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
- Immediate retest passes after failures demonstrate owner's responsiveness to issues.
