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 was passed on May 1st, 2025, with the vehicle recorded at 12,593 miles. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of issues related to leaks, brake binding, and lighting problems across multiple inspections. The trend in the MOT history is not clearly improving; rather, it shows persistent issues being noted, with specific faults appearing in subsequent inspections. The mileage of 12,593 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests relatively low annual mileage, which could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing, though this does not rule out wear on specific components. A buyer should immediately inspect the front wheel bearings for any play. Check the front service brakes for any excessive binding. Thoroughly inspect the cooling system for any signs of ongoing coolant leaks. Verify that all headlamps, including the nearside and offside ones, are functioning correctly. Check the windscreen wipers and washer system for proper operation. Finally, inspect the spare tyre and mirror assembly for completeness and security.
