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

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend. Although the most recent test on July 15, 2025 at 120,295 miles resulted in an initial failure, the vehicle passed immediately upon retry with no recorded defects. This suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly by the owner. Prior to this, the car maintained a clean record of passes without advisories for the previous four years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. There is a two-year gap between the June 2021 test at 96,983 miles and the August 2023 test at 113,431 miles, which indicates a period of lower usage or potential storage. Since 2023, the car has covered roughly 7,000 miles annually, returning to a steady, typical usage profile. This low annual accumulation reduces the expected wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage urban examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion that MOT tests might miss. While the record lacks historical advisories, the age of rubber components such as suspension bushes and split boots should be checked for cracking despite the relatively low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or binding calipers, as long periods of standing can lead to surface oxidation. Ensure the tyres are not aged-out despite potentially nearing the end of their functional life.
