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, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 July 2025 at 111,046 miles. While the test passed without recorded mechanical defects, the tester noted a fitted child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult belt. This minor administrative observation does not indicate mechanical failure, and the overall history shows the vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record over the last four testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,100 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase of 15,062 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 20,153 miles recorded between July 2024 and July 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has undergone typical road miles rather than long periods ofກັບ, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system due to recurring wear issues. Tests in both 2022 and 2023 flagged both nearside and offside front brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored. Although the 2024 and 2025 tests showed no such defects, the history of pitting suggests the discs may be prone to corrosion if left to sit. Checking the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the calipers is essential to ensure the components were replaced effectively after the 100,000-mile milestone.
