Mechanical Assessment

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 May 30th, 2026, passed with no defects recorded. There is a recurring pattern of failure in the history, with a failure recorded in October 2024, followed by a pass in June 2023. This history suggests a relatively stable condition, as the vehicle passed the most recent test and the previous failure was some time ago. The mileage of 149,648 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests a rate of approximately 4,276 miles per year. This level of mileage could indicate consistent use or potentially longer periods of standing, which affects wear on components like the suspension and drivetrain. Given the limited history, it is difficult to definitively state a worsening or improving trend. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly, check the condition of the brakes, and examine the drivetrain for any signs of wear or unusual noise.
