Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 12 May 2026 at 102,533 miles, meeting the legal standard despite flagged rear indicator discolouration and rear brake pipe corrosion. Repeated wear on the rear brake discs, pads, and suspension components across multiple tests shows a stable but deteriorating maintenance pattern, with no evidence of improvement. Covering 17 years, the recorded mileage of 102,533 equates to roughly 6,031 miles per year, a rate typical for its age. Mileage rose steadily from 37,973 miles in September 2016 to 102,533 miles by May 2026, with the most recent increase of 7,928 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, indicating consistent use rather than abrupt high‑speed accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the corroded rear brake pipe and fuel pipe for leaks, examine the condition of the rear coil spring and shock absorbers for structural fatigue, verify the integrity of the rear suspension bushes and front anti‑roll bar ball joint dust covers, and confirm that the parking brake operates within requirements. Particular attention to the rear brake system and any signs of binding or excessive wear on the discs and pads is essential.
