2021 VRS 2.0L Gas · JM21 CAB

The vehicle presents a fully clean MOT record with no defects, advisories, or failures across all five recorded tests, including the most recent pass on 12 March 2026 at 93,723 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong. Every test returned a pass with zero recorded faults, indicating that the car has been kept within acceptable wear and safety thresholds throughout its life. The mileage accumulation is notably uneven. Between the March 2023 test at 11,931 miles and the February 2024 test at 22,428 miles, the car covered roughly 10,500 miles in twelve months. Then, between February 2024 and March 2025, it added approximately 31,500 miles in just over thirteen months, a sharp acceleration to around 2,400 miles per month. The jump from March 2025 at 53,984 miles to March 2026 at 93,723 miles represents nearly 40,000 miles in a single year, or approximately 3,300 miles per month. This is exceptionally high use for a performance variant and places significant stress on consumable and structural components. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should approach the physical inspection with the mileage context firmly in mind. At nearly 94,000 miles in just over five years, suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop links are well within their expected wear window and should be checked for play or deterioration. Brake discs, pads, and calipers deserve close scrutiny given the sustained high-mileage use, particularly for signs of uneven wear or binding. Tyre condition and age should be verified, as high annual mileage accelerates tread wear and can mask sidewall degradation. The exhaust system, including the catalytic converter and DPF if fitted, warrants an emissions-focused inspection given the intensity of use. Structurally, the chassis, subframes, and suspension mounting points should be examined for corrosion or cracking, especially if the vehicle has been used extensively on salted winter roads. The powertrain, gearbox, and clutch should be assessed for smooth operation under load, as high-mileage performance driving can expose synchro wear or clutch slip that a static MOT inspection would not reveal. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended given the intensity of use this car has endured.
