Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle passed the most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑08 at 79,138 miles, although a concurrent fail entry appears on the same date; both records show no defects. The overall maintenance trend is stable, with consistent passes since 2022 and no recurring faults, indicating that basic upkeep has been maintained despite the age. Mileage accumulation shows about 5,653 miles per year over the car’s 14‑year life, a low figure for a 2012 model. Tests have been carried out roughly annually, with mileage rising from 63,472 miles in August 2022 to 79,138 miles in September 2025. The data set is clean, with no significant gaps, and the slight increase in annual mileage does not suggest excessive wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, check brake pedal feel and caliper operation for binding, and examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as low‑mileage tyres can still suffer from uneven wear or cracking. The exhaust system and under‑body panels need scrutiny for corrosion, and any signs of rust on structural panels should be noted. Finally, request the full service history to confirm the dual MOT outcome on 2025‑09‑08 and ensure any re‑test was properly documented. A visual check of the engine bay for oil leaks and a review of the timing belt or chain interval will provide additional confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
