2016 Benimar Mileo 231 2.3L Diesel · R21 MAK

The vehicle presents an exemplary roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 9 April 2026 at 36,722 miles recorded no defects, maintaining a stable trend of mechanical integrity over the last five years. The lack of any advisories or failures across the recorded history suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard or used sparingly throughout its life. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,672 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 8,123 miles, representing a significant spike in usage compared to previous years where annual travel hovered around 6,000 miles. Despite this temporary increase, the total mileage remains well below the national average for this age. Low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it also introduces the risk of age-related degradation if the vehicle has sat stationary. Because the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by long periods of inactivity. A buyer should check for cracking in rubber suspension bushes, perished wiper blades, and seized brake calipers which can occur from low use. The chassis should also be inspected for surface rust, as the MOT test does not always flag minor surface corrosion that does not yet compromise structural integrity but could progress over time.
