Mechanical Assessment

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 status, achieving a clean pass in its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 25,996 miles. This reflects an improvement over the previous year where the tester identified a minor consumable-related defect. While the history shows occasional minor failures, the lack of defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard for its age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 6,991 miles, indicating very light use or long periods of inactivity. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components perishing due to age. The data shows a consistent annual testing pattern without any sudden spikes in high-mile usage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and rubber components, as the 2022 test flagged an edge-worn nearsside front tyre near the legal limit and the 2024 test identified a nearsside rear tyre with surface cracking. These issues suggest that the vehicle sits for extended periods, causing the rubber to dry rot despite low tread depth. Verify that the windscreen washer system remains functional following its previous failure in 2023 and check the brake discs for surface pitting or heavy corrosion, which frequently occurs on low-mileage cars. Inspect the chassis for any surface rust that may have developed during the periods of service.
