Things to check

- High mileage (166,520 miles by Nov 2012) for a 2002 vehicle suggests heavy use.
- Recurring failures in critical safety systems: lights (6 failures), brakes (3 failures), steering (1 failure).
- Consistent high annual mileage (15,286 mi/yr) indicates significant wear and tear.
Working in its favour
- No recurring failures on the same system in the last 3 years.
- All major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
- Consistent high annual mileage suggests regular use and maintenance.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
