Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 17 April 2025 at 40,128 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the two earlier failures in 2024 and 2025 showing no recorded defects and immediate passes on re-test. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical deterioration. Recorded mileage sits at 40,128 miles against a 2016 build date, equating to roughly 4,013 miles per year. The history shows 26,269 miles in January 2023, 33,200 miles in February 2024, and 39,259 miles by March 2025. Annual accumulation stayed near 7,000 miles with no abrupt jumps. The sparse five-entry record and clean defect sheets suggest light use, though long stationary periods cannot be ruled out from the data alone. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's low yearly use and potential for moisture-related corrosion during storage. The twin failures with no defects logged, on 7 February 2024 at 33,200 miles and 21 March 2025 at 39,259 miles, warrant confirmation that no latent structural or exhaust emissions fault was overlooked at the initial presentations. Check for perished rubber components, binding calipers, and undertray condition before purchase. The absence of advisories across all tests implies previous owners addressed wear promptly or the tester omitted minor consumable notes; either way, verify tyre sidewall age and wiper blade condition on the physical car.
