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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 28 July 2025 at 107,862 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of minor consumable maintenance issues, suggesting the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state. The absence of advisories in the latest test indicates that previous issues with tyres and visibility have been addressed. The mileage accumulation shows a consistent pattern of use, averaging approximately 10,786 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. The data shows steady progression from 29,265 miles in April 2019 to the current 107,862 miles. Between August 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 15,243 miles, which represents a slightly higher usage period compared to the earlier years, but remains within typical parameters for a diesel-class vehicle of this age. The MOT history highlights specific areas for physical inspection, particularly regarding suspension geometry and tyre wear. The July 2024 test flagged the offside rear tyre as worn close to the legal limit and noted that both rear tyres were wearing bald on the inner edges. This pattern often indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should check for uneven tyre wear across all four corners and inspect the condition of the control arms and bushings to ensure the alignment remains stable. The August 2023 advisory regarding under trays and engine covers obscuring the view of certain components means that a physical inspection is necessary to verify the condition of the lower engine area and potential fluid leaks. While no structural corrosion or brake issues were flagged in this record, the history of tyre wear suggests that a thorough check of the steering and suspension components is a prudent step before purchase.
