Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 45,038 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass on 7 November 2025 at 45,026 miles, confirming that the issues identified in the failed test three weeks earlier have been rectified. The maintenance trend is improving. Mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the April 2021 test (19,721 miles) and April 2024 (34,432 miles), the car averaged roughly 5,100 miles per year, consistent with light use. However, the period from April 2024 to November 2025 shows a sharp increase of approximately 10,600 miles in 19 months, suggesting a change in usage pattern. No long-term gaps in testing are evident, and the record is otherwise clean. Buyers should inspect the front brake discs closely. The November 2025 failure cited heavy lipping on the outer face and scoring on the inner face, indicating uneven wear or caliper binding. Verify that the front discs meet minimum thickness and that the calipers slide freely. The nearside front headlamp and windscreen wiper issues were addressed, but check both front lighting and all wiper blades for continued function. The front exhaust flexi-pipe leak, while minor, should be examined for signs of recurring corrosion or joint deterioration. Given the low overall mileage, suspension components and tyres may show age-related cracking despite limited use.
