The latest reading of 117,142 miles on 30 January 2026 reflects a jump of approximately 24,200 miles in eleven months, suggesting a period of higher usage recently. Although the MOT history contains no recorded advisories or defects, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of high‑wear items typical for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Check the front suspension bushes and coil springs for excess play or cracking, inspect the rear axle mounting points for corrosion, and measure brake disc thickness to ensure they remain within service limits. Examine the exhaust system for signs of rust or leaks, and look over the bodywork, especially around the wheel arches and sills, for any early structural rust that might not yet have triggered an MOT failure.
