Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on October 22 2025 at 139,404 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of inconsistency in 2023 and 2024. While the vehicle suffered two failures in the preceding years, the subsequent clean passes indicate that any identified faults were addressed, and the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety and environmental standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 5,576 miles per year. The data shows very short intervals between tests; for instance, only 239 miles were recorded between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests, and just 154 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This minimal usage suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, dry seals, and potential fuel fluid contamination despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis, as low-mileage vehicles of this age are prone to hidden corrosion in the sills and floor pans. Given the failures in March 2023 and October 2024, despite no specific defects being listed in the summary, the inspector should check suspension bushes and coil springs to ensure the repairs were not merely superficial. Pay close attention to the brake calipers and tyre hoses, as the intermittent use evidenced by the mileage often causes seized components or perished rubber that may require immediate attention once the vehicle enters regular service again.
