The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-03 at 123,666 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the prior test on 2025-12-02 at the same mileage recorded a fail without defects. This inconsistency suggests potential data entry errors or unresolved issues not captured in the report. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 showed consistent passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend in earlier years. However, the recent fail-pass cycle raises questions about the vehicle’s reliability and the accuracy of recorded outcomes. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,666 miles over 15 years equates to roughly 8,244 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. The 2024-12-06 tests at 119,789 miles show two passes and two fails on the same day, likely a data duplication error. The 2023-12-12 test at 115,818 miles also passed with no defects, suggesting no significant mechanical issues in the preceding years. The sparse defect records imply minimal wear, but the lack of detailed findings limits confidence in the vehicle’s long-term condition. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. The braking system, including rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the failed test’s unrecorded issues. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as the MOT history lacks specific details on these areas. The absence of corrosion or major defects in recorded tests is positive, but the recent inconsistent results necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
