Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The overall roadworthiness status is stable, with the most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 62,608 miles passing without any recorded defects. This is a positive sign, as the vehicle has now completed three consecutive years of passing MOTs, and the 2025 test at the end of the period shows no issues. The trend is improving, as the vehicle has moved from a failing record in the same month to a clean pass, suggesting that any prior problems were likely addressed between the two tests. The mileage pattern relative to the vehicle’s age is low, with 62,608 miles over 22 years, equating to roughly 2,846 miles per year. This is a notably low figure for a car of this age, which can indicate lighter use or long periods of standing. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is 2,185 miles, which is a significant jump in a single year, and the 2023 and 2024 tests show a similar 2,800-mile spread. The low mileage combined with the sparse test history means the vehicle’s condition should be verified by a mechanic, particularly on components that are prone to wear over time. A buyer should inspect the suspension and brake components in person, as the record shows a failing test on 5 November 2025 with no defects recorded, which is a common issue for front and rear suspension bushes and calipers. The vehicle has also shown a failing test on 5 November 2025, which is a recurring fault that could indicate worn brake discs or binding rear brakes. The 2025 test at 62,608 miles passed, but the 2024 test at 56,308 miles passed, and the 2023 test at 53,126 miles passed, which suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently, but the low mileage means the brakes and suspension may still require attention.
