- Mileage significantly below average: 39,642 miles over 21 years (Jan 2005) — very low usage.
- Three unexplained MOT gaps: 2020, 2021, 2023 — no MOT recorded, suggests periods off-road or SORN.
- Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low readings: 37,470 mi (2018-04-30) to 39,642 mi (2026-05-21) — inconsistent annual usage.
