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 2026-05-26 passed with no defects recorded. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor issues being noted in earlier inspections, specifically relating to the parking brake efficiency and minor fluid seepage from the power steering and shock absorbers. The trend in the history is stable, as the most recent result was a pass, following previous issues that were not recorded as failures on the subsequent tests. The mileage of 69,619 miles over approximately 29 years suggests a relatively low annual mileage of around 2,401 miles per year. This level of mileage could indicate lighter use or extended periods where the vehicle was not driven frequently. Given the history, the main risk pattern is related to components like the power steering seals and shock absorbers, which were noted in previous inspections. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the steering system components for any signs of leakage or unusual noise. Secondly, check the condition of all four tyres, as the history noted wear close to the legal limit on the rear tyres and cracking on the front tyres. Finally, examine the suspension components, particularly the front shock absorbers, for any further signs of oil leakage or damage.
