Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
This vehicle is currently roadworthy and displays a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT pass on 13 March 2026 at 73,120 miles was achieved with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 11 March 2026 and 27 May 2025, the lack of recorded defects on those failure certificates suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the test. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,312 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2024 test at 64,066 miles and the March 2026 test at 73,120 miles shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 9,000 miles per year over the last two years. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate commercial use or prolonged periods of standing. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across the last three years. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been spared harsh driving conditions. The absence of recurring faults means there are no specific mechanical red flags emerging from the DVSA data. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. Checking for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and inspecting the chassis for surface rust remains standard practice for a car of this age, despite the clean test records.
