2017 Rapido 8096DF 2.3L Heavy oil · SP17 AON

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy based on the available data. The most recent MOT test on 2 August 2025 at 33,366 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative care. The mileage is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,707 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between May 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 17,471 to 29,164 miles. This jump of nearly 12,000 miles in just over a year contrasts with the earlier, lighter usage seen between July 2021 and July 2022, when the vehicle covered only 3,608 miles. Despite the clean MOT record, the low overall mileage and periods of light use raise specific points for a physical inspection. Vehicles that stand for long durations are prone to brake caliper binding and tyre flat-spotting. A buyer should check the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify that the tyres remain within their safe age limit, as rubber perishes regardless of tread depth. The absence of any flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion across five years of testing is positive. However, given the vehicle's age, a manual check of the chassis and underbody for hidden rust is advised. The record indicates a well-maintained vehicle, but the shift in usage patterns means confirming the current condition of all rubber seals and fluid levels is a prudent final step.
