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

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a pattern of recurring lighting and wheel issues, with the most recent test on 8 April 2026 indicating a passing result but several new advisories. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the vehicle failed its test on 7 April 2026 due to incorrect headlamp aim before passing the following day. This follows a failure in January 2025 involving headlamp levelling devices and windscreen wiper effectiveness. While the most recent pass cleared the headlamp aim issues, the tester flagged four new advisories regarding wheel distortion and tyre wear. The recorded mileage of 113,793 miles for a 2007 vehicle suggests a low annual average of approximately 5,989 miles. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation between the documented tests. The data covers a period from January 2023 to April 2026, providing a relatively consistent view of the vehicle's recent compliance history. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the lighting system, specifically checking the headlamp levelling mechanism and the clarity of the lenses, as these have failed or been flagged as defective in multiple tests between 2024 and 2026. The repeated advisories for distorted road wheels on both the nearside and offside front since January 2023 suggest potential issues with rim integrity or impact damage. Additionally, the presence of worn tyres on the rear axles in the April 2026 test indicates that consumable replacement is currently required. The braking system warrants close examination. The 2023 record noted corrosion on both offside and nearside rear brake pipes, and the February 2024 test flagged a twisted offside front brake hose. Although these specific items were not listed as failures in the most recent 2026 test, the history of brake-related advisories and failures suggests that the condition of the hydraulic lines and hoses should be verified for leaks or degradation. Finally, the recurring advisory for worn axle swivel pins and bushes in February 2024 indicates that the suspension components may require attention. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.
