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 shows an improving trend in its MOT pass history, moving from failures in 2023 and 2024 to two consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2025. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows two failures, these were resolved within short timeframes, as evidenced by the passing results following the September 2023 and September 2024 failures. The recorded mileage of 68,243 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,530 miles per year. The MOT history provides a consistent annual data point from September 2023 through September 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, and the mileage accumulation appears steady rather than showing signs of long-term inactivity or sudden, heavy usage. Because the specific mechanical causes for the failures in 2023 and 2024 were not detailed in the provided summary, a physical inspection is necessary to identify what components required attention. A buyer should focus on the areas typically associated with such failures, specifically checking the condition of the braking system, tyre tread depths, and suspension components like bushes or coil springs. Given the previous failures, verifying the current state of the exhaust system and ensuring no new advisories have emerged regarding corrosion or light leaks is advisable. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
