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 11 February 2026 at 59,011 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend appears stable across the five‑year span. Mileage has risen from 36,963 miles on 31 January 2022 to 59,011 miles on the latest test, an average increase of roughly 5,800 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests light use rather than prolonged storage, and the record shows no abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps between tests. Consistent mileage growth aligns with the absence of recorded faults, reinforcing a picture of regular, moderate driving. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear‑related items that the MOT does not flag. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, confirm that brake discs and pads show even wear without scoring, and check suspension components such as bushes and coil springs for any looseness or corrosion. A visual appraisal of the under‑body for rust, especially around wheel arches and suspension mounting points, will complement the clean MOT history and ensure no hidden structural issues have developed.
