This 2024 V 220 is a strong performer, with a 94% first-time pass rate that sits well clear of the 80% UK average—these are very new vehicles in excellent condition. The dangerous defect rate of 2.7% is reassuringly low, and you're looking at almost zero failures on average (0.04 per vehicle), so structural or critical issues are rare in this cohort.

At just under 25,000 miles median, these are barely run-in examples, which explains the stellar pass rates; the 0.2 advisories per vehicle suggests minor wear items rather than any systemic concern. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection will almost certainly be a formality—focus instead on service history and whether the warranty covers your intended mileage profile.
