Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
This vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 March 2026 at 113,739 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 2 March 2026, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately before the successful retest twelve days later. The mileage is typical for a fourteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,124 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between February 2025 and March 2026, where the odometer rose from 91,044 to 113,739 miles. This indicates the car covered over 22,000 miles in just over a year, a sharp increase compared to the 7,330 miles logged between January 2024 and February 2025. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last four years. This lack of flagged defects suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been spared harsh environments. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. Given the recent spike in annual mileage, checking the service history for a recent oil change and filter replacement is advisable to ensure the engine remains protected after the increased workload.
