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

The most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 91,224 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness; the preceding failure on 21 July 2025 at 91,222 miles indicates an intermittent issue that was resolved before the successful retest, suggesting a stable maintenance trend rather than ongoing deterioration. Over 13 years the odometer has risen from 72,927 miles in July 2023 to 91,224 miles in July 2025, an accumulation of 18,297 miles or roughly 9,150 miles per year, which aligns with the typical mileage for a vehicle of this age and shows no anomalous spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The alternating pass/fail history points to potential concerns with rear suspension bushes, coil springs and binding rear brakes, as well as possible structural rust and exhaust emission failures noted in earlier tests; a buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension components, brake discs and calipers for wear or corrosion, verify the integrity of the chassis and subframes for rust, and confirm that any previous remedial work addressed the underlying faults. While the latest MOT confirms current roadworthiness, the vehicle’s maintenance record reflects periodic corrective actions that may have addressed intermittent mechanical issues; a thorough pre‑purchase inspection should prioritize the aforementioned components to ensure longevity and avoid hidden defects.
