The most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 85,580 miles passed with no recorded defects, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy. Earlier tyre‑related failures in March 2023 and March 2022 have not recurred, indicating an improving maintenance trend. Across eight years the odometer shows 85,580 miles, averaging roughly 10,700 miles per year – a usage pattern typical for a car of this age. Mileage progressed from 53,022 miles in April 2023 to 74,680 miles in January 2025, then to the current 85,580 miles, demonstrating steady accumulation without prolonged idle periods. The MOT entries are regular, with no significant gaps that would suggest neglect. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the tyre condition. Verify that the front and rear tyres have been replaced since the 2022‑03‑30 and 2023‑03‑27 failures that recorded ply exposure and tread near the legal limit. Check tread depth, sidewall integrity, and confirm that no cords are visible. Inspect wheel rims for damage, assess suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and examine brake discs for scoring or uneven wear. A visual survey of the underbody for corrosion will also confirm the vehicle’s structural integrity.
