2008 Daimler Eagle Limousine Auto 4.2L Petrol · CT08 KKD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 22 May 2025 at 83,825 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a mechanical failure during that same session. While the May 2025 test initially failed due to an ABS warning lamp, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates the electronic fault was addressed and rectified. This suggests the owner is responsive to critical safety failures when they arise. At 83,825 miles over 18 years, the Daimler has covered an average of approximately 4,657 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The usage pattern appears consistent but low, with only 3,518 miles recorded between May 2023 and May 2024, and another 2,508 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of rubber component degradation and fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the ABS system to ensure the fault flagged in 2025 remains fully resolved and is not recurring. The 2023 failure revealed a history of basic neglect, including a missing wheel fixing, lighting issues, and tyre damage, which points to a lack of proactive preventative maintenance. A buyer must verify the tyres for age cracking or flat spots given the low annual mileage. Given the age and low use, checking the chassis and suspension components for structural corrosion is vital, as surface rust often affects older vehicles that have sat stationary for extended periods.
