Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record of mechanical health. The most recent test on 12 July 2025 at 73,995 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows two failures in July 2025 and July 2023, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved immediately during the same visit. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,353 miles per year. The distance covered between 10 August 2023 and 16 August 2024 was 6,475 miles, showing consistent but light usage. There are no erratic jumps in the odometer readings that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of abandonment. The absence of advisories over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. Most cars from this era typically flag wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. The lack of recorded faults suggests either a very high standard of preventative maintenance or a tester who has been lenient with aging components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber perishables and braking systems. Low-mileage cars often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished tyres due to lack of heat cycles and movement. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the underside and verify the condition of the engine mounts, as these can degrade over seventeen years regardless of the low mileage recorded.
