The 30 April 2025 MOT at 73,933 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a pass outcome that mirrors the earlier same‑day result, indicating a stable maintenance trend. At 13 years old, the recorded 73,933 miles equate to roughly 5,687 miles per year, a figure below the typical wear rate for a vehicle of this age. The interval from the 27 April 2023 test at 52,182 miles to the 25 April 2024 test at 65,543 miles shows an accumulation of 13,361 miles in one year, followed by an additional 8,390 miles by the 30 April 2025 test, suggesting regular but not intensive use and no significant periods of standing. A buyer should therefore focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which have not been flagged but merit visual and tactile assessment, and on the brake system, checking for binding calipers, worn discs and pad thickness, as the MOT history shows no recorded brake defects but the age of the components warrants verification. Inspection of structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as well as the exhaust system and emissions test results, will complete the due‑diligence checklist. Overall, the vehicle exhibits a low‑mileage, well‑maintained profile with a clean MOT record, but a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension, braking and structural integrity is essential before purchase.
