Mileage rose from 57,086 miles in October 2022 to 81,035 miles in September 2025, averaging about 8,000 miles per year, slightly below the typical 9,000 miles per year for a 2017 model.

A physical inspection should verify suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the rear brakes for binding, and examine brake discs for corrosion or scoring. Particular attention should be given to structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails and underbody, as well as the condition of the exhaust system and its mounting points. Additional checks include confirming tyre tread depth and wear patterns, assessing wiper blades and fluid levels, and ensuring any previous advisories noted in earlier records have been fully rectified. The absence of documented defects in the recent MOTs supports confidence, but close verification of these mechanical components remains essential for an informed purchase decision.
