Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2025‑06‑25 MOT at 40,412 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. The absence of any recorded failures in the preceding five tests, including the immediate prior failure at the same mileage, indicates a stable maintenance record. At 12 years old, the 40,412‑mile odometer reflects an average annual mileage of roughly 3,368 miles, suggesting relatively light use. Mileage leapt from 22,291 miles in June 2023 to 34,022 miles by June 2024, a gain of 11,731 miles in about eleven months, or approximately 10,664 miles per year, before climbing to 40,412 miles by June 2025. The two consecutive tests at 40,412 miles within two days show no change in condition. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue, and any binding rear brakes, as these components often exhibit intermittent issues that can trigger a failure despite a clean test. Inspection of brake discs, calipers and structural rust on the chassis and sills, together with a review of the exhaust system for corrosion, will address the most common mechanical concerns. Verification of tyre wear, wiper condition, and confirmation that any previous advisories have been fully rectified will complete the due‑diligence inspection.
