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

The 2025-09-25 MOT at 129,798 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the required roadworthiness standards. Earlier failures in 2023 and 2024 showed no recorded defects, suggesting that any issues were corrected before retesting, and the overall maintenance trend appears stable and improving. The mileage pattern shows an average of 7,211 miles per year over 18 years, which aligns with typical usage for a 2008 model. Between 2023-10-09 (126,764 miles) and 2023-10-19 (126,823 miles) only 59 miles were recorded, while the jump to 128,473 miles on 2024-10-14 represents 1,709 miles in 11 months, indicating regular but not excessive use. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brakes for binding calipers and worn discs, inspect the exhaust for rust or leaks, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, as these are common failure points in MOT histories that show no recorded defects. Overall, the recent pass confirms current roadworthiness, and the moderate mileage suggests the Legacy has been cared for, but a detailed in‑person inspection of the highlighted mechanical components remains essential before finalising any purchase.
