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

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2025, though it initially failed a day earlier due to an ineffective nearside windscreen wiper and worn front tyres. There is a concerning and recurring pattern regarding the front tyres. In May 2024, the inner tyres were noted as being worn close to the legal limit on both sides. By May 2025, both the nearside and offside front tyres were again worn on the edges, which resulted in an MOT failure. This suggests a persistent issue with wheel alignment or tracking that has not been permanently corrected. The overall condition trend for the tyres appears to be worsening or unstable, as the same edge-wear issue reappeared within a year. Earlier history shows a failure in 2023 for a missing rear fog lamp and switch, which were subsequently rectified. The recorded mileage of 21,090 miles is very low for a five-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,218 miles per year. This indicates the vehicle has seen light use, although such low mileage can sometimes imply long periods of standing, which may affect rubber components or battery health. A buyer should first inspect the current condition and tread depth of the front tyres.
