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

The vehicle presently presents as roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 110,757 miles recorded as a Pass and no defects noted. The sequence of tests shows a stable trend; after a single failure recorded on 26 July 2022, the car has achieved three consecutive passes, indicating that any issue prompting the 2022 failure was remedied. Mileage has risen from 93,790 miles in July 2022 to 110,757 miles in July 2025, an average increase of roughly 5,600 miles per year. This rate sits below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting moderate use and limited exposure to high‑stress conditions. No significant gaps appear in the record, and the incremental growth aligns with a consistent, low‑intensity usage pattern. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of consumables that naturally wear with mileage. Inspect tyre tread depth and uniformity, examine brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing, and check suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for any signs of fatigue or corrosion. A visual survey of the under‑carriage for rust, especially around the exhaust system and chassis, will confirm that the clean MOT history reflects genuine structural integrity. Finally, confirm that the 2022 failure was addressed by requesting any repair invoices or service notes. Ensuring that the corrective work was performed will close the only anomaly in the MOT chronology and provide confidence that the vehicle’s maintenance history is both complete and reliable.
