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

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass in the test dated 30 January 2026 at 63,235 miles. While the maintenance trend appears stable, the car initially failed that same test due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. This specific defect was rectified to allow for the pass. The overall history shows a clean record for several consecutive years, suggesting that the owner generally addresses MOT requirements before they become critical failures. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between January 2021 at 39,352 miles and January 2026 at 63,235 miles, the car covered 23,883 miles, indicating a steady and moderate usage pattern. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking components noted in the January 2025 test at 59,185 miles. The tester flagged a corroded nearside rear coil spring and pitted front brake discs. While these issues did not cause an immediate failure, a physical inspection is required to ensure the spring shows no further signs of stress fracturing and that the brake discs have been replaced rather than neglected. Given the recent failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system, verifying that this sensor is now functional is also a necessary step before purchase.
