2017 RAPIDO 8096DF2.3L Diesel

The July 21, 2026 MOT at 49,131 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The record shows a stable maintenance trajectory; the same faults noted in the October 2024 tests – worn suspension arm components, a split rear bush, parking brake lag and an oil leak – were not mentioned in the most recent assessment, indicating that any remedial work undertaken has been effective. At nine years of age, the RAPIDO 8096DF has accumulated 49,131 miles, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per year since the 2020 baseline of 3,044 miles. The interval between the December 2021 test at 3,961 miles and the November 2023 test at 27,209 miles spans 19 months, a period of accelerated use that aligns with the steady rise observed in subsequent years. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring mechanical items flagged in the history: the near‑side front suspension arm pin or bush wear, the rear suspension bush that is beginning to split, the parking brake’s reduced efficiency and slight lag, the condition of the exhaust heat shield, and the source of the oil leak concealed by the under‑cover; the rear tyre tread, which approached the legal limit in November 2023, and the functionality of the near‑side rear and front side markers should be examined, along with any signs of structural rust or corrosion that might affect long‑term integrity.
