Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

Overall, the vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed the July 30 2025 MOT at 15,129 miles with no defects recorded. The successive tests from 2022 through 2025 show a stable maintenance trend, with each subsequent inspection confirming the absence of mechanical failures, indicating that previous owners have maintained consistent service standards. The recorded mileage of 15,129 miles at 15 years of age equates to roughly 1,009 miles per year, a figure well below the typical usage for a 2011 model. Mileage increments are modest – 586 miles between the June 2024 test and the July 2025 test, and 586 miles between the July 2022 test and the June 2024 test – suggesting the car has spent most of its life in low‑stress, possibly intermittent use rather than high‑intensity operation. A buyer should therefore focus on lighting and wiring integrity, given the 2022 failure of the nearside rear stop lamp and offside rear position lamp, and verify that all lamps function correctly. Also, a close examination of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for wear or binding is advisable, as is an inspection of the chassis for structural rust, the condition of the exhaust system, and the health of the drivetrain components, since low mileage does not preclude neglect of these critical items.
