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

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT pass on 13 August 2025 at 68,419 miles was achieved with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 6 August 2025 and 22 June 2023, the record does not specify the failure reasons, though the rapid turnaround to a pass in both instances suggests the owner addressed the issues promptly. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between June 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 51,868 to 59,266 miles. Since that period, the vehicle has covered roughly 9,000 miles over the last 13 months. This pattern indicates the car has transitioned from light, sporadic use to more regular driving. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as these are common in cars that stand for long periods. The tyres should be checked for age-related cracking or flat spots, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Given the lack of recorded advisories over the last three years, there is no evidence of systemic suspension failure or structural rust. However, the absence of detailed failure data for the 2023 and 2025 tests means a physical inspection of the exhaust system and rubber bushings is necessary to ensure no recurring faults were simply patched for the test.
