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

The 2026‑07‑06 MOT at 8,821 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has stabilised after the 2022 corrosion findings. The mileage has risen gradually from 3,940 miles in 2016 to 8,821 miles in 2026, averaging about 630 miles per year and showing no sudden accumulations; the 458‑mile increase between the 2024 and 2025 tests reflects modest, regular use rather than aggressive driving. A buyer should therefore inspect the front brake disc noted as worn and pitted in the 2025 test, verify that the windscreen wipers clear the glass effectively despite previous failures, examine the steering rack and power‑steering pipe for the corrosion identified in 2022, and assess the sub‑frame and suspension components for any signs of rust or wear that could compromise structural integrity.
