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 test on 31 October 2025 at 90,209 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the inspection just days before the scheduled test date, suggesting that minor defects or consumable items were identified and rectified immediately prior to re-testing. The mileage progression is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 17,622 miles between the October 2023 test at 55,827 miles and the October 2024 test at 73,449 miles, followed by another 16,760 miles leading up to the 2025 inspection. This steady annual usage indicates regular operation, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components to prevent the degradation of rubber-related parts and seals. While the way record shows no recurring adviseories or structural corrosion issues, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the history of pre-test failures, it is prudent to check for uneven wear on brake pads or the condition of the way bushes to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive rather than temporary fixes. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound at this mileage.
