Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2025 at 74,661 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This transition from the defects noted in early 2024 suggests the current ownership is proactive in rectifying faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual-use figures, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in recorded data between December 2021 and December 2022, where the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles, but the usage has since steadied with a jump of over 5,000 miles recorded between August 2024 and July 2025. This consistent mileage generally reduces the risk of issues associated with long periods of standing, such as brake rust or seal degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas highlighted during the January 2024 test at 64,279 miles. The tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit with excessive edge wear, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the TPMS light was noted during that same period, the buyer should verify the system is now functioning correctly as it did not reappear in subsequent clean tests. The absence of structural advisories or corrosion notes across the history suggests the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
