Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle shows a stable maintenance profile with a recent successful MOT on 18 May 2026 at 63,198 miles. The record indicates the car underwent a failure during that same test due to a split nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot. This specific mechanical fault was rectified to secure the pass, suggesting that necessary repairs are being carried out when defects arise. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. The data shows steady progression from 16,372 miles in May 2019 to the current 63,198 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing history, and the incremental increases between the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests demonstrate regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus on the suspension and drivetrain components during a physical inspection. The record shows a recurring trend of minor suspension issues, specifically the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint which showed play in both 2021 and 2022. While the recent CV boot failure was resolved, checking the integrity of all drive shaft boots and checking for grease leakage around the front driveshafts would be prudent to ensure the repair was thorough. Tyre maintenance appears to be an intermittent area of concern for previous owners. The vehicle failed in June 2024 due to exposed cords on the offside front tyre and had a previous advisory for a nail in May 2023. While the 2026 test recorded no tyre defects, a close inspection of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity is recommended to ensure the vehicle is not being run on ageing or damaged rubber.
