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 currently roadworthy status following the March 2026 test, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass occurred on 2026-03-10 at 116,277 miles with no defects logged. The prior day's failure on 2026-03-09 at 116,276 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,300 miles per year against the car's 2012 build, a typical use rate for this age of executive saloon. The records show clean passes in February 2024 at 96,481 miles, March 2025 at 107,712 miles, and March 2026 at 116,277 miles, with only the unexplained failure entries on the same dates as two of those tests. No gap exceeding twelve months appears between tests, and the odometer progression is linear with no sudden accumulation. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the car's fourteen-year age and 116,000-mile count. The MOT data flags no advisories for corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across the timeline. The repeated zero-defect failure entries warrant confirmation that the DVSA record reflects system error rather than suppressed test detail.
