A failed test on 2023-12-20 at 111,995 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a possible administrative anomaly or technical error. Overall, the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards over the past three years, with no recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns identified. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,640 miles aligns with an average of 7,567 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its 17-year age. MOT records show consistent annual testing, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The 2022-12-23 test at 104,398 miles marked the earliest recorded entry, indicating a clean and methodical maintenance history. While the data lacks detailed defect reports, the absence of recorded issues in recent tests suggests the owner prioritized routine checks. However, the 2023-12-20 failure, despite no defects listed, warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a genuine fault or a procedural error. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which may show wear given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system and corrosion levels, especially in the underbody, should also be assessed, as these components are prone to degradation over 17 years. While MOT records show no immediate risks, the 2023 failure highlights the importance of verifying service history and addressing potential hidden issues. Regular maintenance and careful evaluation of mechanical components will be critical to ensure long-term reliability.
