AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2 December 2025, but the maintenance trend shows a gradual increase in advisory items. While the vehicle has avoided outright failures since its first recorded test in 2021, the frequency of advisories has risen from zero defects in 2021 and 2022 to recurring issues regarding consumables and suspension components in the last three years. The recorded mileage of 36,109 miles is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,514 miles per year. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing without significant gaps in documentation. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use, which can sometimes lead to uneven tyre wear or component stagnation, though the records do not explicitly show evidence of long-term immobility. A prospective buyer should focus on the front axle and braking system during a physical inspection. The December 2025 test flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows an advisory in November 2024 regarding thin front brake pads on both sides. These findings suggest that the front braking and tyre components are currently at the end of their service life. The November 2023 advisory regarding slight play in the nearside front upper top bush or bearing indicates a potential issue with suspension component integrity. Although the vehicle passed the 2025 test, the combination of suspension play, thinning brake pads, and worn tyres suggests that several consumable items require immediate attention or replacement to maintain roadworthiness. buying_score: 62 risk_level: Medium.
