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

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing consecutive tests without recorded defects. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no advisories or failures noted. This pattern of clean results has persisted through the five recorded tests dating back to August 2021. The recorded mileage of 83,508 miles indicates a low annual average of approximately 4,912 miles over the vehicle's 17-year lifespan. The MOT records from 2021 to 2025 show no significant spikes in mileage or sudden accumulation between test dates. This low-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has seen infrequent use, which can impact the condition of rubber components and fluids due to long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on components that may degrade through lack of use rather than wear. A buyer should check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking or perishing. While the MOT records show no history of brake issues, testing for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear is advisable. Checking for any signs of corrosion on the underside and exhaust system is also necessary, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from moisture retention and surface rust. buying_score: 85 risk_level: Low.
