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, passing its most recent MOT test on 28 August 2025 with 24,291 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a single failure recorded just ten days prior to that pass. The tester flagged a defective nearside rear tyre with a deep cut reaching the cords, but this was clearly rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent pass. This suggests the previous owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once they are identified. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,050 miles per year. Data shows consistent but infrequent usage, moving from 13,484 miles in September 2023 to 18,962 miles in September 2024, and reaching 24,291 miles by August 2025. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between annual tests can sometimes lead to rubber degradation in suspension bushes or brake caliper seizing if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres to ensure no further sidewall damage exists, given the 2025 failure. Because the car has covered low annual distances, check the brake discs for surface corrosion and test for binding calipers which often occur on vehicles that sit for extended periods. The record shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical advisories, indicating the chassis and primary components have likely remained in good condition relative to the age.
