Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 May 2026 at 39,380 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories to a clean sheet suggests proactive maintenance regarding the flagged mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,876 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 19,308 miles and the May 2025 test at 31,057 miles, the car covered 11,749 miles, showing a slightly higher than average usage during that specific period. However, the total mileage remains low, which generally limits wear on the hybrid drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should physically inspect the front wheels and braking system to ensure the recurring faults were properly rectified. The 2024 and 2025 tests repeatedly flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs, which often results from moisture-induced corrosion during stationary periods. Additionally, the nearside front road wheel was noted as distorted in two consecutive years; the buyer must verify that this wheel has been replaced or straightened to prevent steering vibration at higher speeds.
