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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 62,394 miles indicates that the braking system is entering a period of required maintenance. While the car passed this latest test, the tester flagged worn front brake discs, thinning brake pads, and fluctuating service brakes. This follows a failure in August 2024 at 60,238 miles due to front brake pads being below the 1.5 mm legal limit. The transition from a failure in 2024 to advisories in 2026 suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance where components are replaced only when they approach or reach the point of failure. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,672 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, albeit slow, increase in usage, moving from 27,289 miles in April 2019 to the current 62,394 miles. There is a significant jump in mileage between May 2021 (42,865 miles) and July 2022 (51,090 miles), but the overall usage pattern remains well below the national average. This low annual mileage may explain the specific types of wear observed, such as the tyre perishing and cracking noted in the May 2021 test, which often occurs when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. Given the recurring issues with brake pads and the recent advisory regarding fluctuating service brakes, a thorough check of the calipers, discs, and hydraulic lines is necessary to rule out binding or uneven pressure. The fluctuation mentioned in the 2026 test could indicate a sticking caliper or a minor hydraulic issue. Additionally, because the 2021 record highlighted tyre perishing and edge wear, the current condition of the rubber sidewalls and tread depth should be verified to ensure the low mileage hasn't led to age-related degradation.
