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

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 2026-02-11 test, with the most recent MOT passing cleanly at 102,734 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring structural or mechanical failures across the last two tests. The 2025-02-19 test also passed without defects, indicating that the issues flagged in the 2025-02-17 failure were likely isolated to consumables and did not escalate into a persistent problem. The mileage pattern shows a steady annual increase of roughly 10,000 miles, consistent with a vehicle aged about 10 years. The 2025-02-17 test recorded a significant drop in mileage to 92,093 miles, which aligns with the 2024-02-02 test at 83,534 miles, suggesting the vehicle was driven consistently. The 2024-02-02 test flagged thin brake pads and tyre wear near the legal limit, while the 2023-01-27 test also showed near-limit tyre wear on both axles, which is a recurring pattern that points to a lack of regular tyre rotation and brake pad replacement. A buyer should inspect the rear differential for oil leaks and the suspension components, particularly the nearside and offside front shock absorbers, which showed serious fluid leaks in the 2025-02-17 test. The 2024-02-02 test also flagged thin brake pads, so a full brake pad replacement and a thorough check of the brake discs are recommended. The 2020-05-26 test recorded a deep cut in the nearside rear tyre that reached the ply or cords, which is a structural concern that requires a tyre replacement. The 2023-01-27 test showed near-limit tyre wear, which could indicate a problem with the alignment or suspension geometry.
