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 presents a current roadworthy status following the March 2026 test, with the most recent pass recorded at 117,498 miles on 2026-03-23. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available records, showing no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The March 2026 pass came on the same day as a failed attempt at identical mileage, yet the failure carried no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an 18-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year. The record shows 109,178 miles at the March 2024 test, rising to 113,259 by March 2025 and 117,498 by March 2026. Annual use held near 4,000 miles in the first interval and about 4,200 in the second, reflecting light but consistent operation rather than standing periods or rapid wear cycles. The DVSA data flags no recurring faults across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as clean MOT slips on an older Ford do not certify component condition beyond the test day. The twin March 2026 entries with zero defects suggest clerical processing rather than repeated rectification work.
