Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT, completed on 25 May 2026, was a clean pass with no defects recorded. The overall history shows a very stable trend, with every recorded test since 2021 passing without any reported issues or advisories. The vehicle's mileage is exceptionally low for its age, having covered only 11,446 miles in approximately 14 years. This averages out to roughly 818 miles per year, which is significantly below typical usage levels. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also suggests the car may have spent long periods standing idle. This creates a specific risk profile where mechanical components may be well-preserved, but age-related deterioration from inactivity could be present. A buyer should first inspect the condition of rubber components, such as hoses, seals, and suspension bushings, to ensure they have not perished from lack of use. You should also check thoroughly for any signs of fluid leaks or dried-out gaskets that often occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly.
