Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The most recent MOT was passed on December 23rd, 2014, with no defects recorded at that time. The MOT history shows a pattern of issues in the earlier inspections, specifically concerning the centre front steering damper and the parking brakes in 2009. The condition trend appears stable as the vehicle has passed subsequent MOTs, although there were specific mechanical failures noted in the 2009 inspection. With 129,404 miles over approximately 31 years, the annual mileage is around 4,174 miles per year. This mileage is relatively low for the vehicle's age, which could suggest lighter overall use or extended periods of standing. A buyer should first inspect the condition of the tyres, as the history indicates sidewall perished issues were noted in a previous inspection. Secondly, given the past failures regarding steering and parking brake components, a thorough mechanical inspection of these systems is essential. Finally, check the general wear and tear on suspension and drivetrain components due to the higher mileage accumulation over time.
