Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent 2025-08-14 test at 79,741 miles passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record, even though a failure on 2025-08-12 at the same mileage also reported no defects. Mileage has risen from 70,052 miles in the August 2022 test to 79,741 miles in the August 2025 test, an increase of roughly 3,560 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s low annual usage and suggests no periods of rapid mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, confirm that the rear brake calipers operate freely and that the brake discs show no binding or excessive corrosion, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, while also checking tyre tread, wiper blade condition, and the exhaust system for rust and emission compliance. Overall, the vehicle’s clean MOT history and consistent mileage imply it is roadworthy, provided the buyer verifies the condition of the highlighted mechanical components and the structural integrity of the body panels during a physical inspection.
