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

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance. During the test on 29 September 2025 at 67,966 miles, the car initially failed due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. While it passed after immediate rectification, the tester also flagged both front and rear brake discs as worn. This represents a shift from the previous clean records, suggesting that components are now beginning reaching the end of their effective service life. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. Between May 2022 at 58,490 miles and September 2025 at 67,966 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles, showing steady but infrequent usage. The gap of 500 miles between the June 2023 and September 2024 tests suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can often lead to surface corrosion on braking components or electronic sensor faults if not driven regularly. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system given the recorded wear on all four discs in the 2025 test. You should check the thickness of the pads and look for any glazing or pitting that indicates replacement is imminent. The reported tyre pressure monitoring system should also be verified to ensure the fault was fully resolved and not a recurring electronic issue. Given the low mileage, close attention should be paid to rubber components like suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, which degrade through age and inactivity rather than mechanical wear.
