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 appears to be in a stable roadworthiness condition following its most recent MOT pass on 26 November 2025 at 101,249 miles. The inspection history shows a consistent pattern of passing the test after initial failures, suggesting that minor issues are being addressed promptly. The most recent test recorded no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle was mechanically sound at the time of testing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,328 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 90,864 miles in October 2023 to 101,249 miles in November 2025. This steady increase suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components often found in low-use vehicles. The repeated failures in November 2024 and November 2025, despite no specific defects being listed in the summary, suggest the vehicle may be encountering minor non-compliance issues during testing. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs to ensure no underlying wear is developing. Given the age and mileage, checking for corrosion on the underside and exhaust emissions levels would be a prudent step to ensure long-term structural integrity.
