The 2025-05-13 MOT at 104,840 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The earlier failure on 2023-09-14 at the same mileage was followed by a successful retest on 2023-09-15, indicating that the previously identified issue was rectified and the vehicle’s maintenance trend has improved and remains stable. Mileage accumulation shows a steep upward trajectory: from 55,659 miles in September 2023 to 84,625 miles a year later, an increase of 28,966 miles, and then to 104,840 miles by May 2025, adding another 20,215 miles in just over eight months. This rapid mileage gain, equivalent to roughly 17,500 miles per year, suggests intensive use and accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, specifically the bushes and coil springs, which often exhibit wear after high annual mileage, and inspect the brake calipers for binding and the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear. The exhaust system should be examined for corrosion and leaks, while the chassis and wheel arches must be checked for structural rust that could compromise integrity. Given the high usage rate, the buyer should also verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the overall condition of the drivetrain and suspension bushes, as these items typically reflect the vehicle’s maintenance history and can reveal whether previous owners performed timely servicing despite the clean defect record.
