Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle appears mechanically sound based on its MOT history, with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 84,524 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 12 September 2025 and 10 September 2024, the lack of recorded defects in the data suggests these were likely minor administrative or quick-fix issues resolved immediately. The mileage is notably low for a sixteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,283 miles per year. The distance covered between 26 August 2023 at 75,565 miles and 10 September 2024 at 81,772 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,200 miles over a year. The usage remained consistent into late 2025, with only 2,752 miles added between September 2024 and September 2025. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat spots on tyres. Check for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record is unusually clean for a 2010 model. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface rust and check the engine oil for signs of moisture, which can occur if the car has spent long periods standing. While the DVSA record shows no recurring mechanical failures, a manual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advised to ensure the rubber has not perished due to age.
