The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-01-13 at 35,928 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the MOT history reveals two consecutive failures on 2026-01-08 and 2024-06-25 at identical mileages (35,928 and 25,673 miles respectively), both without recorded defects. This pattern suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved minor issues that were later resolved. The 2025-01-06 test at 28,090 miles and 2024-06-25 test at 25,673 miles both passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend in earlier years. The recent pass implies the car is currently roadworthy, but the repeated failures without defects warrant scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 35,928 miles over five years equates to an average of 7,186 miles annually, aligning with typical usage. A notable jump from 28,090 miles in 2025 to 35,928 miles in 2026 suggests increased usage over the past year, which could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. The 2024 MOTs at 25,673 miles included two tests on the same date, one passing and one failing, though neither recorded defects. This may indicate procedural anomalies or transient issues that were subsequently addressed. The absence of structural or mechanical defects in the pass entries up to 2025 supports a generally well-maintained vehicle. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as inconsistent MOT results may hint at unresolved alignment or damping issues. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear, given the repeated failures. Structural corrosion is unlikely based on the records, but a thorough underbody inspection is advisable. The lack of recorded defects in recent tests does not preclude minor faults, so a pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
