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 holds a clean MOT history spanning the last five years, with the most recent test on 6 September 2025 showing a pass with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable trend in roadworthiness over the documented period, as the vehicle has successfully passed every annual inspection since November 2021 without any recorded failures or advisories. The recorded mileage of 120,715 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 8,600 miles. This pattern is consistent with typical usage for a 2012 vehicle of this age. The MOT entries appear to occur at regular annual intervals, showing no significant gaps in the testing schedule between 2021 and 2025. Because the MOT records show no flagged issues regarding brake pad wear, tyre tread, or suspension component degradation, there are no specific mechanical trends to highlight from the official data. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of common wear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these are not always captured in a pass-only record. Checking for structural corrosion on the underside and ensuring exhaust emissions remain within limits would be prudent given the vehicle's age and total mileage.
