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

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the 11 June 2026 MOT at 118,397 miles with no recorded defects. The recent record shows a shift from the 2024 failure – caused by corroded rear brake pipe and a fractured nearside rear leaf spring – to successive clean passes in 2025 and 2026, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend. Mileage averages roughly 6,600 miles per year over the 18‑year lifespan, which sits comfortably within typical usage for a van of this age. The interval between the 19 May 2025 test (117,675 miles) and the 11 June 2026 test (118,397 miles) added only 722 miles, and the 2024‑2025 period saw a rise of just 316 miles, suggesting limited annual exposure and modest wear on consumable components. A prospective buyer should verify that the rear brake pipe corrosion noted repeatedly from 2019 onward has been remedied and that no leaks or weakened pipe sections remain. Inspection of the nearside rear leaf spring for any hidden cracks is prudent, given the 2024 fracture. Brake discs should be examined for pitting beyond the minor wear previously recorded, and the handbrake and parking brake lever should be tested for adequate reserve travel. Front suspension ball joints, particularly the offside track‑rod end, merit a tactile check for play, and the headlamp on the offside should be confirmed operational. Finally, a visual tyre survey should ensure the former nail puncture has been properly repaired and that tread depth remains acceptable.
