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

The most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at 30,483 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy. Four consecutive annual tests have all passed, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no emerging faults. Mileage has risen from 26,652 miles in July 2022 to 30,483 miles in July 2025, an average of roughly 1,300 miles per year over the last three intervals. For a 2012 model this equates to about 2,200 miles per annum, well below typical usage and suggesting light duty rather than any period of neglect or rapid accumulation. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record, reinforcing the impression of consistent, low‑intensity operation. A prospective buyer should still examine consumable wear that the MOT does not capture. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for uneven wear, verify the integrity of suspension bushes and coil springs for any squeaks or looseness, and test the braking system for pedal feel and disc condition, especially given the vehicle’s age. A visual check for corrosion on wheel arches, under‑body panels, and exhaust components will confirm that the low mileage has not concealed rust. Confirm that all lights, wiper blades, and the horn function correctly, as these items are routinely overlooked in MOT summaries but affect overall safety.
