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

The vehicle's MOT history shows a fluctuating pattern of compliance, though the most recent test on 10 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on the same date, suggesting that issues identified during the initial inspection were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. The record shows a trend of intermittent failures, specifically in December 2023 and December 2025, which breaks the continuity of clean passes. The recorded mileage of 113,103 miles for a 2013 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 8,700 miles. This usage level is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. The MOT entries appear to be conducted at regular annual intervals, with tests recorded in December 2023, November 2024, and December 2025, showing no significant gaps in the testing schedule. While the recent pass on 10 December 2025 reported no defects, the previous failures in 2023 and 2025 necessitate a physical inspection of components prone to wear. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system, including brake discs and pads, as well as suspension components like bushes and coil springs, which often trigger failures in vehicles of this age and mileage. Because the specific nature of the failures in 2023 and 2025 was not detailed in the provided records, a thorough check of the vehicle's underside for corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system is advisable. Verifying the current state of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades remains a standard requirement to ensure the vehicle meets the standards established in its most recent test.
