Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 October 2025 at 109,802 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a short-term resolution of minor visibility faults after a prior failure, indicating the last owner addressed statutory lighting and screen issues promptly once flagged. Earlier history from 2022 to 2024 reveals recurring washer and windscreen defects, but no mechanical or structural failures, so the overall pattern is stable rather than worsening. Recorded mileage stands at 109,802 against a 2014 registration, averaging roughly 9,150 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The gap between the 11 November 2022 test at 99,524 miles and the 1 October 2024 test at 103,201 miles shows only 3,677 miles in nearly two years, suggesting a period of light use or prolonged standing. From October 2024 to October 2025 the car covered 6,601 miles, a return to modest annual use. The sparse record limits deep wear analysis, though no drivetrain or suspension advisories appear across the entries. A buyer should physically verify the windscreen condition and washer operation, as the car failed on 7 October 2025 for a non-working repeater, failed washers, and a seriously affected swept area, repeating washer faults from the 1 October 2024 failure. The October 2022 pass noted wet offside rear fuel filler pipes to the tank; inspect that fuel line and surrounding metal for corrosion or seepage. No brake, suspension bush, coil spring, or structural integrity defects were logged, but at twelve years old and 109,802 miles a hands-on check of calipers, discs, and subframe rust remains prudent.

Our Verdict

Avoid this vehicle due to repeated MOT failures and high mileage for its age, despite a recent pass. Significant concerns about windscreen and washer system reliability.

This vehicle requires careful inspection of the windscreen, washer system, and side repeater. Negotiate a lower price to account for repair costs. Verify service records for windscreen replacements or washer system repairs. Be wary of hidden issues with the fuel filler pipe, as noted in the 2022 MOT. Consider a pre-purchase mechanical survey to assess long-term reliability.
