The most recent MOT on 9 May 2025 at 149,068 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend appears stable. No deterioration or new fault has emerged in the four consecutive annual tests. Mileage has risen from 130,791 miles in April 2022 to 149,068 miles in May 2025, an average of roughly 6,100 miles per year over the last three years. Across the 22‑year lifespan this equates to about 6,800 miles annually, a figure typical for a car of this age and suggesting no periods of intensive use or prolonged neglect. The record shows a clean, uninterrupted progression with no sudden spikes or gaps. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as wear can develop despite clean MOT results. Inspect brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and confirm that the tyre tread depth meets legal limits. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and look for any surface rust on structural panels that could indicate hidden deterioration. Finally, check wiper blades and lighting units for proper operation, as these consumables are not captured in the MOT data but affect overall safety.
