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 roadworthiness profile with a clean record of pass results. The most recent test on 18 April 2025 at 75,342 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 14 April 2025 and 12 March 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues rectified immediately on the same day. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,278 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 24 March 2023 at 59,978 miles and 12 March 2024 at 68,852 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles in a single year. Usage has since slowed significantly, with only 6,490 miles added over the following thirteen months leading up to the April 2025 test. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a twelve year old vehicle. The record shows no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc degradation. This suggests either a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the condition of the tyres and brake pads. Since the MOT history is suspiciously clean, verifying service records for oil changes and timing belt intervals is essential to ensure the mechanical health matches the official test data.
