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

The most recent MOT test on 2026-05-07 passed with no defects recorded. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last several years. There are no recorded defects noted across these entries. The mileage of 36,847 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests relatively light use, as the annual mileage is approximately 1,189 miles per year. This lower mileage might indicate lighter overall use or extended periods where the vehicle was not driven frequently. The condition trend appears stable based on the provided data, as all recorded MOTs have been successful without any noted issues. Given the history, the primary risk pattern is low based solely on the MOT records. However, the mileage context means that while the recorded history is clean, components that experience wear over time, such as suspension or drivetrain parts, should still be visually inspected. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the tyres for wear and condition, check the fluid levels, and examine the general condition of the underbody for any signs of impact or corrosion.
