The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,927 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2023 MOT gap is noted.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-03-24 (test 166,721) — immediate safety risk.
- Recurring brake system advisories (Oct 2021, Mar 2025) escalating to dangerous failure.
- Brake pipe corrosion noted on 2025-03-24 (test 166,721) — structural integrity concern.
- Brake pipe leaking on 2025-03-24 (test 166,721) — recurring safety-critical issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-24, offering peace of mind for two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (8,927 mi/yr), no fraud indicators.
- No recurring failures on critical systems like engine, transmission, or suspension.
