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 result, dated 2026-05-22, showed issues with both the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the limit and the offside rear tyre being slightly damaged or cracking or perishing. The history shows a pattern of tyre wear issues, with the most recent inspection highlighting wear on the nearside rear tyre and damage to the offside rear tyre. Previous MOTs also noted tyre wear on the nearside rear and offside front tyres. The trend in the MOT history suggests a pattern of wear and minor damage occurring across different tyres over time, rather than a clear improvement or worsening trend in a specific area. The mileage of 41,119 miles over approximately eight years suggests a relatively low annual mileage of around 5,140 miles per year, which could indicate lighter overall use or periods where the vehicle has been standing. A buyer should immediately inspect the condition of all four tyres, paying close attention to the rear tyres, as these have been flagged in the most recent inspection. Secondly, given the history of tyre wear, a thorough visual inspection of the suspension components and brake system is essential to check for any underlying wear that may not be visible on the MOT report. Finally, check for any signs of previous repairs or damage related to the tyres or suspension components noted in the older records.
