This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 4 November 2025 at 100,604 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a state of immediate compliance. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a nine year old executive saloon. Between the January 2022 test at 79,719 miles and the November 2025 test at 100,604 miles, the car covered 20,885 miles. This averages to roughly 6,900 miles per year over the last three and a half years, showing a consistent usage pattern without any erratic spikes or long periods of stagnation that might suggest neglect. The complete absence of advisories over five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle exceeding 100,000 miles. There are no recorded failures or recurring warnings regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owners, as common wear-and-tear items like tyres and wiper blades were evidently replaced before they reached the threshold of an MOT failure. A physical inspection should focus on the high-wear components typical for this mileage that the MOT test does not always exhaustively quantify. Check the condition of the gearbox oil and engine mounts, as these often degrade around the 100,000-mile mark regardless of MOT outcomes. Verify the service history for evidence of timing chain or auxiliary belt replacements to ensure the mechanical longevity matches the clean government record.
