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

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 3 October 2025 at 105,962 miles with no recorded defects. The trend appears to be improving: the tyre‑wear and light oil mist on the off‑side front shock absorber flagged on 1 October 2025 were cleared by the 3 October test, indicating prompt remedial work. Mileage has risen from 46,114 miles in September 2019 to 105,962 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 10,600 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old saloon and shows no evidence of sudden spikes or prolonged idle periods. The recorded mileage increments between each annual test are consistent, suggesting regular driving rather than intermittent high‑load episodes. A prospective buyer should verify that the front and rear tyre tread depths are now above the legal minimum and free of edge wear, as multiple entries in 2025 highlighted tyres close to the limit. Inspect the front shock absorbers for any oil leakage or loss of damping, and confirm that the brake discs are free of scoring or excessive wear, recalling the front disc comment from the 6 October 2023 test. A visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of corrosion on structural panels will further assure that no underlying mechanical or rust issues have been missed.
