Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health with an exemplary MOT history. Every test conducted between November 2021 and November 2025 resulted in a pass without a single advisory or failure recorded. This consistent performance indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the previous owner prioritised preventative care and addressed mechanical issues before they reached the point of formal inspection. The most recent pass on 21 November 2025 at 54,645 miles confirms the car remains in a roadworthy state as of the latest DVSA data. The recorded mileage of 54,645 miles over a ten-year lifespan averages approximately 5,464 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a high-performance vehicle of this class. A notable jump in usage occurred between November 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered roughly 10,417 miles, contrasting sharply with the modest 2,507 miles added between the 2024 and 2025 inspections. Such low annual usage in the most recent period warrants a check for signs of long-term storage, such as flat spots on tyres or seized brake components from inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of consumable items that often deteriorate during periods of infrequent use. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle means that rubber suspension bushes, cooling system hoses, and engine gaskets may be reaching the end of their service life regardless of the low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as these are common issues on cars that sit for extended periods. Verify that the service history supports the MOT data, as a lack of recorded oil changes or fluid flushes would be more concerning than the absence of test failures.
