Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution. This vehicle has a significant gap in its recorded MOT history from 2015 onwards, making its current roadworthiness and maintenance status unknown.

The most critical priority is to establish what has happened to this car since September 2015. You must request a full service history and proof of any MOTs conducted in the last 11 years; if the car has been off the road (SORN), it may require a complete mechanical overhaul including new tyres, fluids, and belts.

Negotiate heavily based on the lack of recent data. Ensure you check for evidence of the oil leak mentioned in the 2014 MOT, as unresolved leaks can lead to engine damage over time. A professional pre-purchase inspection is non-negotiable for a vehicle with this specific history gap.
