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

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passed tests. The most recent MOT on 10 June 2025 at 63,143 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows failures on the same day as the passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the test. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,210 miles per year. Between 2 June 2023 at 58,742 miles and 10 June 2025 at 63,143 miles, the car covered only 4,401 miles over two years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys, which carries different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than usage. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked suspension bushes, and tyre perishing, as the low annual mileage often masks these issues. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, which are common in vehicles that sit for long periods. Verify the condition of the battery and fluid levels to ensure the car has not suffered from neglect during its periods of low use. While the MOT history is clean of structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a physical inspection of the underbody for rust is advised given the vehicle's age.
