Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 47,699 miles, but the record reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance characterised by repeated advisories and one outright failure in the same testing window. While the car is currently roadworthy, the persistence of flagged defects across five consecutive tests indicates that previous owners have consistently prioritised passing the inspection over addressing underlying mechanical wear. The March 2026 failure regarding the inoperative reversing lamp and tyres worn close to the legal limit was rectified to achieve the pass. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 5,962 miles per year. The gaps between MOT tests vary, with periods of 12 months and longer stretches of 18 months, such as the interval between March 2024.
