The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a singular failure recorded just one day prior to that test at 75,277 miles, which identified a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a missing registration plate lamp. Both issues were demonstrably rectified immediately to allow for the subsequent pass, indicating that the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once they are flagged by a. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2011 registration, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year to reach the current figure of 75,281 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 5,239 miles covered between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This low-frequency use often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long periods of standing time can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake surfaces, which is not always captured by the MOT test alone. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension to ensure the recently replaced coil spring is seated correctly and that the opposite side shows no signs of stress fractures. Given the offside windscreen damage noted in December 2024, the glass should be checked for any spreading cracks that might compromise structural integrity over time. Because of the vehicle's age and relatively low mileage, a thorough look at the chassis for surface corrosion or sills rot is essential, as low-mileage vehicles are often prone to rust if stored in damp environments without frequent use.
