Mechanical Assessment

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

The 8 July 2026 MOT at 167,154 miles passed, but the record shows a maintenance trend that is worsening, with repeated brake pipe corrosion, suspension arm pin and bush wear, and tyre cuts recurring in each test. Over the six‑year period from the 30 December 2020 test at 122,810 miles to the 8 July 2026 test, the mileage rose steadily from 122,810 to 167,154, an average of about 11,000 miles per year, which matches the typical usage for a 2012 model; there are no large gaps in the documentation, indicating consistent operation rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, examine all brake pipes for genuine corrosion and secure fittings, assess the condition of brake discs and pads beyond the recorded thinness, and check the structural integrity of the outer sills and inner chassis for rust, as these items have been flagged repeatedly and represent the most serious mechanical risks.
