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

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 25 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in October 2024, suggesting a stable trend in recent years. The record shows the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections since at least October 2021, though a single advisory was noted during the 2023 test. The recorded mileage of 166,622 miles for a 2002 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 6,943 miles. This pattern of usage is consistent with the vehicle's age. The MOT history provided covers a five-year period from 2021 to 2025, showing regular annual testing without significant gaps in the inspection timeline. The October 2023 test at an unspecified mileage flagged an advisory for slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. While the subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 showed no defects, a physical inspection should verify the current state of the front suspension components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of all ball joints, suspension bushes, and steering linkages to ensure the previously noted play has been addressed or has not progressed. Given the vehicle's age and the specific advisory recorded in 2023, a thorough examination of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of rubber components like CV boots and suspension bushings is advisable. While the recent results are clean, the mechanical integrity of the suspension system remains the primary area of interest based on the available data.
