The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a clean MOT on 2026‑03‑04 at 119,282 miles showing no defects. The recent test follows a series of passes dating back to 2025‑02‑01, indicating a stable maintenance pattern. The only recorded failure occurred on 2022‑12‑02 at 102,356 miles, but the subsequent retest the same day passed, suggesting an isolated issue that was promptly rectified. Overall the car demonstrates consistent compliance with MOT standards and no emerging trend of deterioration. Mileage accumulation has been roughly 7,455 miles per year, which is typical for a 16‑year‑old model. The interval between the 2019‑12‑19 test (77,865 miles) and the 2022‑12‑02 tests (102,377/102,356 miles) reflects a longer gap, yet the recent records show a tighter schedule with tests in 2025 and 2026. This recent frequency suggests regular ownership and basic upkeep, though the earlier sparsity could indicate periods of limited use or deferred servicing. A prospective buyer should inspect the braking system for wear on discs and calipers, check suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or excessive play, and examine the exhaust for rust or leaks. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as well as the condition of the battery and cooling system hoses. A visual scan for body corrosion, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels, is advisable given the vehicle’s age. Confirming a full service history and any missed intervals will help assess whether the recorded passes reflect genuine maintenance or merely minimal compliance.
