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

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests over the last four years. The most recent test on 9 April 2026 shows the vehicle passed, though the tester recorded two minor defects. These included a defective front windscreen wiper blade causing smearing and damage to the central front windscreen. An advisory noted that items were removed from the driver's view prior to the test. The recorded mileage of 41,306 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,884 miles per year. The MOT records show consistent annual testing from October 2023 through to April 2026, with no significant gaps in the inspection timeline. The absence of recorded mileage on the specific MOT dates prevents a precise calculation of distance traveled between each individual test, but the overall accumulation remains typical for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should inspect the windscreen and wiper assembly to ensure the glass is free from cracks that could compromise structural integrity or driver visibility. While the previous tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 showed no defects or advisories, the emergence of minor windscreen and wiper issues in 2026 suggests a need to check the condition of all glass-related components and wiper motor functionality. No issues regarding brakes, suspension, or emissions have appeared in this specific record. buying_score: 78 risk_level: Low.
