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 currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 228, indicating it meets the statutory requirements for road use. However, the maintenance history reveals a significant gap in the last MOT test, with the most recent inspection occurring in November 2025 at approximately 82,957 miles, placing the vehicle well within the normal operating window. This recent test date is substantially closer to the current date than the earlier entries, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical condition through the current year. The mileage pattern reflects a period of accumulation that is consistent with the vehicle's age of roughly 10,370 miles per year. The data points show a steady progression from 67,276 miles in June 2024 down to 60,117 miles in November 2023, without any abrupt jumps or significant deviations. While the mileage rate is typical for a 2018 model, the absence of a recent MOT test creates a potential gap in the warranty coverage and indicates that the vehicle may not have been serviced during the current fiscal year. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components, specifically focusing on the rear suspension and brakes. The MOT record notes a pitted or scored brake disc, which is a critical indicator that the braking system requires attention and may be approaching the limits of its operational lifespan. Additionally, the offside rear tyre has a cut, which, while not deep enough to reach the ply or cords, suggests that the tyre tread is beginning to wear down noticeably. These findings imply that the vehicle has experienced mechanical wear that requires a physical inspection to determine if the suspension bushings or brake pads need replacement.
