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 roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 19 February 2026 at 57,009 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, despite a recent mechanical failure just one week prior. The failure on 12 February 2026 at 56,826 miles involved high exhaust carbon monoxide levels exceeding limits. The fact that the vehicle passed the retest days later suggests the owner addressed the fuel mixture or oxygen sensor issue immediately to rectify the emissions. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 29,785 miles in August 2023 to 57,009 miles in February 2026. There was a jump of 11,945 miles between the July 2024 and August 2025 tests, indicating a period of higher usage. This consistent accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seal degradation and brake-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the engine performance to ensure the carbon monoxide failure was not a symptom of a deeper combustion fault or a failing catalytic converter. Since the record shows no advisories for suspension components or corrosion, the structural integrity of the vehicle appears sound based on the data. However, checking the condition of the brake pads and discs is advisable, as these are consumables not always highlighted in the MOT history until they reach a failure threshold.
