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

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-07-16 at 252 miles. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the past three years, with no major defects recorded. The tester flagged under covers fitted, suggesting some minor modifications may have been made to the vehicle. The recorded mileage of 252 miles at 52 years old is remarkably low, suggesting the vehicle has been used lightly or has spent extended periods standing. The average annual mileage of approximately 5 miles per year is significantly lower than the average for its age. There are no notable gaps in the mileage record, but the sparse data over the past seven years may indicate that the vehicle has not been regularly used. A buyer should inspect the suspension and steering components, particularly the drag link end ball joint, which was flagged for slight play and a damaged dust cover in the 2019 MOT. The swivel pins and bushes on the offside front axle were also found to be slightly worn. The tyres have been damaged or cracked in the past, and the wheel/tyre protrusion beyond the wheel arch may indicate uneven wear or a misaligned wheel. The buyer should also examine the brake components, including the rear brakes, which were not specifically mentioned in the MOT history but may be worth inspecting given the vehicle's age.
