Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent successful MOT pass on 24 June 2026 at 32,707 miles. The most recent test involved a minor failure regarding electrical lighting, specifically the nearside stop lamp, nearside rear position lamp, and nearside rear direction indicator. These faults were rectified immediately, as evidenced by the pass on the same day at 32,703 miles. Aside from this minor electrical issue and a single tyre advisory in 2025, the vehicle has maintained a clean record with no structural or mechanical defects reported over the last seven years. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 3,271 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, moving from 10,386 miles in July 2019 to the current 32,707 miles. This pattern suggests regular, short-distance use rather than long periods of stagnation. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to less frequent operation of certain mechanical systems. The MOT history shows no recurring issues with suspension, braking systems, or exhaust emissions. The only recorded advisory occurred during the 02 July 2025 test at 30,524 miles, where the offside front tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. This indicates a need to monitor tyre wear patterns, which can sometimes stem from minor alignment issues. A buyer should perform a physical check of the tyre tread and sidewalls to ensure even wear and confirm the recent electrical repairs were completed to a high standard. No evidence of corrosion or structural integrity concerns appears in the records. Given the low annual mileage, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, though a physical inspection of rubber components like suspension bushes and engine mounts is advisable, as these can perish over time even when mileage remains low.
