Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend regarding structural integrity. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 69,105 miles, the tester noted the car is very corroded underneath. This observation represents a significant risk to the long-term viability of the chassis, despite the mechanical components passing the inspection requirements. The overall trend appears stable in terms of operational repairs, but the underlying corrosion requires immediate professional assessment. The mileage pattern is low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,760 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2023 and November 2023, where the car covered roughly 5,800 miles in ten months. Since then, usage has remained consistent, with 3,086 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025. This low annual mileage suggests light road use, though it can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to determine if the reported corrosion is surface level or has compromised the structural integrity of the mounting points and suspension components. The history shows recurring issues with the braking system, with rear pads noted as wearing in November 2023 and again as thin in November 2024. You should verify the current state of the brake discs and calipers to ensure the thinning pads were properly addressed, as the record suggests a reactive approach to brake maintenance rather than proactive replacement.
