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

The most recent MOT from October 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The overall MOT trend is stable. Between 2021 and 2024, the vehicle has consistently passed with no recorded defects, including the three most recent tests. While a failure was recorded in October 2022, no specific defects were listed for that entry. At 20 years old with 250,415 miles, this vehicle has covered significantly more distance than average, averaging roughly 12,521 miles per year. This high mileage implies a greater degree of wear on consumables, the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to a lower-mileage example. The contrast between the high mileage and the clean MOT history suggests the vehicle has been consistently maintained to remain roadworthy, rather than suffering from neglect or long periods of standing. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components, brake wear, and the general condition of the drivetrain to assess the remaining life of these high-wear parts.
