The most recent MOT test on 2025-12-22 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, though the history reveals an unusual pattern of back-to-back tests at identical mileages in 2023 and 2024. Both failures occurred on the same date as their subsequent passes, suggesting either administrative errors or a deliberate attempt to bypass inspection intervals. The final pass in December 2025, with no defects recorded, indicates the vehicle currently meets all legal standards for suspension, brakes, emissions, and structural integrity. However, the repeated failures at identical mileages—without any recorded defects—raise questions about the reliability of the testing process or the vehicle’s true condition at those points. The recorded mileage of 22,484 miles over five years reflects unusually low usage, averaging just 3,747 miles annually. This suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which can accelerate corrosion in critical areas like wheel arches, underbody, and suspension mounts. The gap between tests—particularly the 7,616-mile interval between December 2023 and December 2024—implies either infrequent driving or potential neglect during off-roadworthiness periods. Such low mileage also means consumables like brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades may have been replaced less frequently than recommended, increasing the risk of hidden wear. Given the lack of recorded defects, no major recurring faults are evident in the MOT history. However, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, which often degrade silently over time. The repeated test failures warrant scrutiny of the braking system, as binding calipers or worn pads could have been overlooked. Underbody corrosion, especially around the exhaust and subframe, should be checked given the low mileage and potential long-term static exposure. Tyre tread depth and uniformity are also critical, as the vehicle’s light usage may have masked uneven wear or damage from prolonged storage. Finally, verify the hybrid battery health, as PHEV systems can degrade when left unused for extended periods.
