Mechanical Assessment

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 15 September 2025 resulted in a failure, yet the record lists no specific defects, indicating an administrative or paperwork issue rather than a mechanical fault. The preceding tests in September 2024 and June 2023 both passed without advisories, suggesting the vehicle has maintained a generally stable condition up to the last year. At 114,757 miles the car averages roughly 5,500 miles per annum over its 21‑year lifespan, well below the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Mileage rose from 110,780 miles in June 2023 to 112,106 miles a year later, then to 114,757 miles by September 2025 – a steady, modest increase with no sudden spikes that would imply aggressive driving or recent high‑kilometre journeys. A prospective buyer should first confirm the cause of the 2025 failure, ensuring any outstanding paperwork or missed service items are resolved. Inspect the brake system for binding calipers, disc wear and pad thickness, as these components are not reflected in the MOT record but are critical to safety. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of corrosion on chassis members, given the vehicle’s age. Verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and exhaust emissions, and look for any structural rust that may not have triggered an advisory but could affect long‑term durability.
