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 shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available MOT history, with the most recent test on 6 May 2025 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows consecutive passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating that no mechanical or structural failures have been flagged by the tester in the last three years. The recorded mileage of 86,637 miles suggests an average annual usage of approximately 10,830 miles. This level of use is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a 2018 model. The MOT records show a regular annual testing cadence without significant gaps in documentation, though the data only covers the period from 2022 to 2025. Because the recent MOT history contains no advisories or failures, there are no specific recurring mechanical faults to highlight from the official records. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that MOT tests may not always capture, such as the condition of the brake pads, discs, and tyre tread depth. Given the mileage, checking the integrity of suspension bushes and coil springs would be a prudent step during a viewing.
