The 2026‑02‑02 MOT at 217,509 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness, though the preceding February 2026 failure at the same mileage and the earlier 2025 failures at 201,850‑201,851 miles suggest a pattern of minor, non‑structural issues that were rectified before subsequent testing. The vehicle’s mileage trajectory shows accelerated use: from 191,298 miles in February 2024 to 217,509 miles by February 2026, an increase of roughly 26,211 miles in just over two years, or about 13,105 miles per year, far exceeding the average 16,731 miles per year for a 13‑year‑old model. The gaps between tests are narrow, with only a one‑day interval between the 2025 failures and the 2025 pass, indicating frequent re‑testing rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components—bushes, coil springs and dampers—potential binding rear brakes, condition of brake discs and calipers, and any signs of structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, while also verifying tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as the high annual mileage points to accelerated wear on these consumables.
