| Main compromise | Lower purchase price, but age and unresolved wear items may bring more maintenance. | Highest asking price in the shortlist. The sample supports lower observed wear, not a guarantee of reliability. | A larger saloon, but the mileage discrepancy and repeated oil-leak advisory need resolving first. |
| Reliability / 5 | 3.5 / 5DetailsFictional sample assessment — not verified vehicle evidence. The lowest asking price in this sample shortlist, with a consistent mileage record. Repeated tyre advisories need an explanation before you commit. | 4.4 / 5DetailsFictional sample assessment — not verified vehicle evidence. A steady mileage pattern and no advisories in the last two sample tests make this a promising starting point. Service records, hybrid-system condition and provenance still need checking. | 3.2 / 5DetailsFictional sample assessment — not verified vehicle evidence. The sample advert states 78,400 miles, but a later MOT record shows 84,200. This needs documentary evidence: a data-entry mistake is possible, and the discrepancy alone is not proof of fraud. |

Assessment scores out of 5 use saved results; higher is more favourable. Mock results are fictional and labelled in Details. Other scores are illustrative product examples, not live valuations or model reliability findings. Provenance is not scored. A high sample score does not mean a vehicle is safe to buy.
