Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026-06-17 test at 104,280 miles was passed, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness trend up to this date. While the MOT record shows a consistent passing record from 2025 to 2023, the most recent entry of 104,280 miles was achieved on a 2025-08-28 test, suggesting that maintenance has been performed in a consistent manner since the previous inspection. The mileage accumulation is relatively slow, averaging approximately 9,480 miles per year, which aligns with an 11-year age of the vehicle. The 2023-09-20 test at 80,009 miles was passed with no specific defects, whereas the 2023-09-11 test at the same mileage failed due to excessive wear on anti-roll bar bushings. This indicates that while the vehicle has not accumulated excessive wear since the most recent test, the 2023-09-11 failure represents a specific mechanical issue that has not been corrected. A buyer should inspect the rear anti-roll bar bushings and the offside front outer drive shaft flexible couplings in person at a professional garage, as these components were flagged as deteriorating in the 2023-09-11 MOT. The 2025-08-28 test confirmed that the vehicle has no structural defects, but the 2023-09-11 failure suggests that the drivetrain components may require regular replacement or tightening, especially given the history of a failed test at 80,009 miles.
