The MOT history shows a critical 20-year gap in mileage readings, with only 40,314 miles recorded in July 2011, despite the vehicle being registered in January 2008.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY SHOWS CRITICAL 20-YEAR MILEAGE GAP: 40,314 miles in July 2011 vs. 0 miles in Jan 2008.
  • MAJOR RECURRING FAILURES: Brakes (3 failures), Suspension (2 failures), and Steering (2 failures) indicate systemic neglect.
  • MOT EXPIRY DATE 2021-07-19 IS HIGHLY IRREGULAR: A 3-year-old MOT expiry for an 18-year-old vehicle is a significant red flag.
  • HIGH-CONCERN ADVISORIES: Recurring tyre advisories (8 entries) and suspension arm corrosion (Jul 2019) signal ongoing issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a strong safety record for its model year.
  • Consistent Annual Mileage: Average 6,882 miles/year (Jul 2018–Jul 2020) suggests light, non-abusive use.
  • No Recent Major Failures: The last MOT failure was in July 2020, with a subsequent pass, indicating some recent repairs.
  • Mileage Consistency Post-2018: Mileage trajectory is consistent from July 2018 onwards, averaging 6,882 miles/year.
