The vehicle remains roadworthy. The latest MOT on 11 February 2025 at 187,263 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The record shows no recurring faults over the past three years, and the car has consistently met the DVSA requirements. Mileage growth is steady. From 164,403 miles in February 2023 to 175,678 miles in February 2024, the car accumulated 11,275 miles. The following year it added another 11,585 miles to reach 187,263.

When inspecting in person, focus on wear‑prone items that are not recorded in the MOT but are critical for long‑term reliability. Check tyre tread depth, wheel alignment, and suspension bushings for cracking or excessive play. Inspect the brake system – discs, pads, calipers, and hydraulic lines – for wear, corrosion, or binding. Verify the condition of the engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid, and look for any leaks. Examine the chassis for rust, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, and confirm that the exhaust system is intact and free of corrosion. Although the MOT history shows no defects, a thorough visual and functional check of these components will confirm that the vehicle remains in good mechanical condition and will help avoid future costly repairs.
