Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution. While the low mileage is attractive, recent MOT failures reveal significant structural and electronic issues that suggest the car has been neglected in later years.

The primary draw of this vehicle is its exceptionally low mileage, but you must verify that the car has been maintained despite the low use. Ask for a full service history, as the MOT record shows that components like ball joints and shock absorbers are failing due to age alone. Pay close attention to the 2022 failure report; an inoperative Engine MIL light and stability control faults can be very expensive to diagnose and repair.

Negotiate based on the documented corrosion. The MOT history notes corroded sills in 2021 and structural corrosion on the jacking points in 2022. If these have not been professionally treated or repaired, the car may be nearing the end of its road-legal life regardless of how few miles the engine has done.
