2018 Ford Chausson 2.0L Diesel · BX18 DVK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 11 June 2026 at 36,009 miles. This pass followed a failure just one day prior at 36,001 miles due to multiple lighting defects involving the rear position lamps. While the immediate failure indicates a lack of pre-test inspection, the overall maintenance trend remains stable as the faults are limited to minor electrical consumables rather than systemic mechanical or structural degradation. The vehicle exhibits exceptionally low mileage for an eight-year-old, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 18,475 miles in March 2023 to 36,009 miles in June 2026. This low-mile profile typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the long periods of inactivity associated with low mileage can sometimes lead to rubber component perish, such as suspension bushes or tyre adverts, which are not always fully captured in a standard MOT test. A prospective buyer should inspect the braking system specifically, as the March 2025 test at 29,791 miles flagged thin front brake pads. Given the low mileage since that advisory, the discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion resulting from the vehicle sitting stationary. The recent lighting failure also highlights a tendency to overlook basic electrical maintenance, so a thorough check of all exterior lamps is necessary to ensure bulbs are properly seated and the wiring is not corroded.
