Mechanical Assessment

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

The June 2026 MOT at 49,635 miles confirmed roadworthiness, with only a near‑side front inner wheel distortion and a damaged off‑side front tyre perishing, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening trend. The preceding May 2025 test showed no defects, reinforcing consistent condition over the past year. The mileage has risen steadily from 21,916 miles in March 2021 to 49,635 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 6,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle and reveals no extended periods of inactivity or abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear that may have caused the recurring wheel distortion, verify brake disc and caliper condition given the thin pads noted in 2024 and 2025, and examine tyre sidewalls for perishing and wheel rims for cracks or distortion, while also checking the seatbelt webbing for fraying and the overall structural integrity for any hidden corrosion.
