A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight recorded MOT tests and no defects or advisories noted in any of them. This stable trend is confirmed by the latest pass on 11 August 2026, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met the minimum legal requirements for safety and emissions without requiring remedial work between tests. The recorded mileage of 3,926 miles is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, equating to an average of roughly 151 miles per year. A significant gap in the testing history exists between 2010 and 2021, which indicates the vehicle spent a substantial period off the road. This usage pattern suggests that mechanical wear from distance is minimal, but the extended period of inactivity introduces different risks associated with long-term standing. Given the eleven-year hiatus in testing, the inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. During the test drive, pay close attention to the operation of the brakes to ensure there is no binding or uneven pedal feel, and listen for any unusual noises from the engine or drivetrain that could indicate perished seals or dried lubricants. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox, as seals can shrink and fail during long periods of dormancy. While the MOT record is clear of structural concerns, a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for surface corrosion is advisable to ensure the integrity of the metal has been preserved during its time in storage.
