The vehicle has consistently passed every test over the past two years, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no emerging issues flagged by the DVSA. Mileage growth has been modest. From 96,868 miles in July 2022 to 99,175 miles in March 2024, the car accumulated 2,307 miles over 1 ¾ years, roughly 1,300 miles per year. The jump from 98,689 miles in July 2023 to 99,175 miles in March 2024 added only 486 miles in eight months, about 700 miles per year. This pattern is below the average for a vehicle of this age and mileage, suggesting that previous owners likely drove it sparingly or maintained it carefully. When inspecting the car in person, focus on components that typically wear between MOTs. Check the brake system: inspect the discs, pads, and calipers for wear or binding. Verify tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear that could hint at suspension or alignment issues. Examine the suspension bushings, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of cracking or oil leakage. Inspect the battery, alternator, and charging system for corrosion or poor connections. Verify fluid levels and condition—engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Finally, look for rust or structural damage, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, which can compromise integrity even if the MOT passes.
