The available MOT data is insufficient to establish a reliable roadworthiness trend. The most recent record is a pass from 24 August 2021 at 78,452 miles, which showed no defects. However, this test occurred nearly five years ago. A vehicle that has not been tested since 2021 cannot be considered roadworthy by current legal standards, and the lack of recent data hides any mechanical deterioration that has occurred since that date. The mileage of 78,452 miles is typical for an 11 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,132 miles per year. The records show a complete stagnation in mileage from August 2021 to the present date of July 2026. This indicates the car has likely been stationary for several years. Long periods of inactivity often lead to specific mechanical failures that are not captured in old MOT records. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Standing vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers and perished brake discs due to surface corrosion. The tyres should be checked for flat spots and sidewall cracking, while the battery and fuel system may have degraded during the hiatus. Special attention is required for the suspension bushes and engine seals, as these often dry out and crack when not regularly exercised. Given the five year gap in testing, the structural integrity of the underbody should be examined for corrosion. A full mechanical service is essential to ensure the engine and drivetrain are still functional before the vehicle returns to the road.
