Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The most recent MOT test on May 8th, 2026, passed with no defects recorded. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests across all recorded dates. There are no recorded defects mentioned in any of the history entries. The trend in the MOT history is stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed inspections over the last few years. The mileage of 1,865 miles on a vehicle that is approximately 28 years old suggests relatively light use, averaging around 67 miles per year. This lower mileage might indicate periods of under-use rather than heavy, continuous driving. Given the clean MOT history and the relatively low mileage for its age, the primary risk pattern appears to be low, as evidenced by the consistent passing results. 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 during a test drive.
