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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent pass on 9 February 2026 at 135,120 miles. The maintenance trend is declining, characterized by a pattern of neglecting basic consumables until they trigger a test failure. The most recent test sequence saw the car fail on 6 February 2026 due to a tyre with exposed ply and cords, alongside another worn to the legal limit, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to safety maintenance. The mileage is high for an 11 year old vehicle, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between December 2023 and December 2024, where the odometer rose from 110,811 to 129,321 miles. This period of heavy use coincides with the emergence of suspension wear, indicating the chassis has been under sustained load. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering components. The record shows a chronic issue with rear suspension arm bushes and pins, flagged as worn in December 2021 and again in December 2023. The December 2024 test also noted play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage. These recurring faults suggest the rear axle components are reaching the end of their service life. The braking system requires scrutiny. The December 2022 test identified pitted and scored rear brake discs, and the December 2021 test recorded a failure for an inoperative nearside rear parking brake. Given the high mileage and the history of ignoring tyre tread limits, it is likely that other wear items such as brake pads and fluid have not been serviced on a scheduled basis.
