Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The most recent MOT from September 2025 was passed with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle was in good condition at the time of testing. The mechanical history is very limited, with the only recorded fault being a severely deteriorated nearside front upper suspension ball joint dust cover in December 2020. Since that issue was noted, the vehicle's condition trend has remained stable, passing all subsequent inspections without any recurring or new defects. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,068 miles per year. While this suggests very little wear on the drivetrain and consumables, the signal is ambiguous. Low mileage can reflect careful, light use, but it can also imply the car has stood stationary for long periods, which can lead to the deterioration of rubber components and seals. Given the previous suspension defect and the potential for age-related issues from low usage, you should first inspect all rubber bushings, suspension dust covers, and engine seals for signs of cracking or perishing.
