Mechanical Assessment

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 an improving trend in terms of recorded defects, culminating in a clean pass on 2 June 2025. The record indicates a single failure on 27 May 2025, though the specific reason for this failure was not documented in the provided data. Since that failure, the most recent test shows no defects, suggesting the issue identified in May 2025 was rectified prior to the subsequent pass. The vehicle has covered 130,964 miles over its 12-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,914 miles per year. This mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT testing frequency has been regular, with annual tests recorded from March 2022 through to June 2025, providing a continuous overview of the vehicle's compliance history. Because the MOT records show no specific mechanical or structural faults such as suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the documentation provides no direct evidence of wear in these areas. A physical inspection remains necessary to assess the current state of consumables and components that do not always trigger an MOT advisory, such as the condition of the drivetrain, shock absorbers, and tyre tread depth. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent tests, a buyer should focus on verifying the actual mechanical condition of the braking system and suspension components. While the MOT history is relatively clean of documented defects, the absence of recorded advisories means the physical integrity of the chassis and the operational state of the engine and gearbox cannot be confirmed through these records alone.
