The most recent MOT on 27 October 2021 at 189,229 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. With no failures or advisories noted, the available data points to a stable condition at that time. Because earlier test results are not supplied, it is not possible to determine whether the trend is improving or worsening. The car is about 21 years old and has covered roughly 189,229 miles, which works out to just over 9,000 miles per year. The single M189,229 miles, which works out to just over 9,000 miles per year. The single MOT entry in October 2021 shows the odometer at that figure; there are no earlier tests to reveal whether mileage has accumulated steadily or in bursts. Since that test, approximately four years and nine months have passed, meaning the vehicle may have travelled additional miles that are not captured in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on typical wear items for a car of this age and mileage. Check the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs and dampers for signs of wear or corrosion. Inspect brake discs and pads for thickness and look for any binding or uneven wear on the calipers. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewalls, and look for rust or seam damage on the underbody and wheel arches. A test drive should reveal any abnormal noises from the drivetrain or steering, and a visual check of the exhaust system can confirm it remains secure and free of leaks.
