Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 133 803 miles, with no defects recorded. The trend in the record is one of gradual improvement: earlier tests flagged tyre tread depth, a damaged windscreen and a deteriorated registration plate, yet the latest inspection shows these issues resolved or no longer present. Consequently the car is presently roadworthy. Mileage growth has been steady with a high annual average of roughly 16 700 miles. From 117 819 miles on 11 July 2024 to 126 027 miles on 25 July 2025 the vehicle accumulated 8 208 miles in 12 months. The following year it added 7 776 miles to reach 133 803 miles by 1 June 2026, a rapid but typical increase for a commercial van of this age. No long gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, suggesting continuous use rather than periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should examine the tyre tread depth and condition, as the 2025‑07‑25 test recorded the off‑side rear tyre just at the legal limit and the front tyres were worn to the edge. Replace or rotate tyres promptly. Inspect the windscreen for any new damage; the 2026‑06‑01 test noted a damaged but non‑obstructive surface. Check the registration plate for wear or illegibility, as it failed the 2025‑07‑25 test. The steering rack inner joint play flagged in 2021‑09‑15 should be verified for any persistent looseness, which could affect handling. Seat‑belt integrity, particularly the centre seat belt on the near‑side front, was uninspected in 2021; confirm that it is functional and free of fraying. Door lock operation on the rear passenger side should be tested, given the 2021‑09‑14 failure. Finally, a visual scan for rust on the chassis and suspension bushes, and a brake system check for disc wear or caliper binding, will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical health matches the clean recent MOT record.
