The February 2024 MOT at 155,563 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend. The mileage of 155,563 equates to about 4,200 miles per year for a 37‑year‑old vehicle, indicating light use or extended periods of inactivity. The interval from the January 2022 test (148,596 miles) to the February 2023 test (153,984 miles) shows a gain of roughly 5,400 miles over 13 months, while the subsequent 11 months to the February 2024 test added only 1,600 miles, confirming a consistent low‑usage pattern. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, check the structural integrity for rust or corrosion, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and drivetrain components, as these areas commonly develop issues in high‑age, low‑mileage vehicles. Although the consecutive passes suggest careful ownership, a thorough physical inspection remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden wear, structural fatigue, or corrosion that could affect long‑term reliability.
