Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 at 96,488 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean test results over the last several years, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 8,772 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between December 2024 and December 2025, where the odometer rose from 82,101 to 96,488 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any new mechanical faults or wear-and-tear advisories, which indicates the drivetrain and chassis are coping well with increased load. The record shows a single failure on 17 March 2023 at 72,678 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day. Since the DVSA record lists no specific defects for that failure, it likely related to a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the entire history. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the brake pads and tyre tread depth, as these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. Given the lack of structural advisories in the MOT history, focus should remain on verifying the service history for oil changes and coolant flushes to ensure the engine's long-term health.
