Things to check
- No valid MOT since 2019-10-10, indicating it has been off-road for years.
- Major structural corrosion failure on 2006-08-14 at 34,118 miles.
- Extremely low annual mileage (4,737 miles/yr) for a 25-year-old diesel.
- First registration in 2001 makes this a 25-year-old vehicle with significant wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe vehicle.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last test in 2018.
- Low mileage for its age suggests less wear and tear on some components.
