2018 Vany Start V114 2.3L Diesel · HX18 GGE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the MOT history reveals a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive care. The most recent test on June 4 2026 at 58,426 miles passed immediately after a failure just two days prior. This failure involved multiple lighting issues, including incorrect headlamp aim and a missing repeater lens, alongside a defective exhaust mounting. While the vehicle is currently legal, the frequency of failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced to by the annual testing process. At 58,426 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year over its eight-year life, which aligns with typical usage patterns for its age. The mileage data shows consistent annual growth, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 4,100 miles in the final year. This progression suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy stress, but the low mileage means specific components may suffer from age rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system, as the rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in both June 2024 and June 2025. The fact that these were noted in two consecutive years without replacement indicates the discs are nearing the end of their functional life or may suffer from surface corrosion. Additionally, the defective exhaust mounting noted in June 2026 should be checked to ensure the rubber hangers or brackets have been replaced and secured. Given the repeated failures regarding headlamp aim, a physical check of the headlight housings and adjustment bolts is necessary to ensure the units are securely seated and aligned.
