Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 68,288 miles with no defects recorded. Despite this clear pass, the history shows a recurring pattern of tyre-related failures that suggests the trend in wear items is persistent rather than improving. From the first recorded test in April 2019 at 35,629 miles to the latest pass in October 2025 the odometer has risen steadily, averaging roughly five thousand miles per year. There are no large gaps in the testing interval, with examinations recorded roughly every twelve months. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the nearside rear tyre, looking for cuts, cords exposure or uneven wear that could indicate alignment or inflation problems. The front brake discs should be inspected for pitting, scoring or excessive wear, and the pad thickness checked to ensure they remain above the service limit. The windscreen washer flow and headlamp aim ought to be tested, as these items have appeared in earlier failures.
