The most recent MOT from October 2025 was a clean pass with no defects recorded, which is a very positive indicator of the vehicle's current state. There is a clear recurring pattern regarding the rear braking system. Between March 2023 and February 2024, the car consistently showed signs of rear brake wear, including thin pads and discs that became pitted, scored, and fluctuating. This suggests a period where rear brake maintenance was deferred. The overall condition trend is improving. After the failures and advisories in early 2024, the two most recent tests in November 2024 and October 2025 were entirely clean. This indicates that the previous brake issues and lighting faults were likely rectified. The mileage of 50,786 miles over eight years is typical for a vehicle of this age. This suggests a standard usage profile, meaning there is no strong evidence of extreme hard use or prolonged periods of standing that would cause atypical deterioration. When inspecting the car in person, you should first check the condition and brand of the rear brake discs and pads to ensure they were replaced with quality components.
