The vehicle remains roadworthy, with a stable maintenance trend as evidenced by the most recent MOT. The 2025‑12‑09 test at 134,165 miles passed, noting only the application of a central front subframe underseal. No new major faults have emerged since the 2025‑03‑20 inspection, which recorded worn front brake discs. The mileage pattern shows a steady accumulation of roughly 13,000 miles per year, which is high for a ten‑year‑old model. From 2020‑01‑24 to 2021‑01‑25 the vehicle logged 16,292 miles, and the following year added 20,612 miles. The 2022‑02‑07 to 2023‑02‑03 interval saw 18,122 miles, while 2023‑02‑03 to 2024‑02‑05 added 16,162 miles. The most recent twelve‑month period from 2024‑02‑05 to 2025‑12‑09 recorded 17,241 miles, confirming that the vehicle has been used heavily throughout its life. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for wear, pitting and corrosion, as the 2025‑03‑20 MOT flagged them as worn. The front wheel rims should be checked for distortion, a defect noted in the 2021‑01‑25 test. The front brake back plates must be examined for looseness, also recorded in 2021‑01‑25. The central front subframe should be inspected for underseal integrity, following the 2025‑12‑09 note. A thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs and calipers is advisable given the vehicle's high mileage. Overall, the car has maintained roadworthiness across all recorded MOTs, with no critical defects emerging in the last two years. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the high mileage warrants careful inspection of the brake system, front wheels and subframe. A detailed in‑person assessment of these components will confirm the vehicle’s continued reliability.
