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, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 71,417 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of final outcomes, though the history shows a pattern of initial failures before passing. Specifically, the car failed on 7 October 2025 and again on 7 November and 22 October 2024 before eventually securing passes. The mileage is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,761 miles per year. However, the data reveals a sudden and significant increase in usage over the last year. Between 11 November 2024 and 17 October 2025, the odometer climbed from 39,757 to 71,417 miles. This indicates the car covered over 31,000 miles in less than twelve months, a sharp contrast to its previous decade of light use. A buyer should investigate why the vehicle failed multiple tests in 2024 and 2025 despite no defects being listed in the summary. Such a pattern often suggests the owner waited for a failure to trigger necessary repairs. Given the sudden spike in mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise wear on consumables. Check the brake discs and pads for excessive wear and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue caused by the recent high-intensity usage. The low overall mileage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary in the past. This increases the risk of perished rubber seals or seized brake calipers. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion or structural rust, as these issues often develop during periods of inactivity regardless of the total miles on the clock.
