The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,967 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 14,047-mile jump in 2022-2023 is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (May 2021, May 2021, Jun 2023) indicate chronic neglect.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (May 2022, May 2023) suggest underlying wear.
- Recurring engine oil advisories (May 2022, May 2023) point to a potential leak.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (May 2022, May 2023) suggest ongoing wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (8,967 mi/yr) for its age.
- No major structural corrosion or recurring brake failures.
