Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 6 June 2025 at 86,139 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a car of this age. Between 4 June 2021 at 35,152 miles and 6 June 2025 at 86,139 miles, the vehicle covered 50,987 miles over four years. This averages roughly 12,746 miles per year, indicating regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps maintain seal integrity and battery health. The absence of any recorded advisories over five years is unusual for a vehicle with this mileage. The tester flagged no issues with brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension bushes across multiple tests. This implies the previous owner replaced consumables proactively before they reached the legal limit or triggered an MOT failure. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the brake pads and tyre depths, as these wear regardless of a clean MOT record. Given the mileage, it is prudent to verify the service history for evidence of transmission fluid changes and oil intervals. The lack of structural corrosion or exhaust leaks in the DVSA data suggests the chassis remains in good condition.
