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's MOT history shows a stable trend in recent years, with the most recent test on 31 October 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in October 2024. A single failure occurred on 4 April 2023, though the record does not specify the exact mechanical cause of that failure. Since that 2023 incident, the vehicle has cleared consecutive inspections without any recorded advisories or defects. The recorded mileage of 124,589 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 6,922 miles over the vehicle's 18-year lifespan. This represents relatively low annual mileage for a car of this age. The MOT records provided do not show specific mileage increments for each individual test, making it impossible to track precise annual distance accumulation or identify periods of significant vehicle inactivity. Because the recent MOT history lacks recorded advisories for components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or tyre tread, a physical inspection remains necessary to verify current wear. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural issues in the recent tests does not preclude the presence of underbody rust or perished rubber components common in older vehicles. A buyer should specifically examine the brake pads, exhaust system, and suspension integrity to ensure the vehicle's current state matches the clean recent test results. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.
