Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026‑03‑12 MOT at 23,876 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. Since the 2022‑03‑16 test at 20,465 miles, each annual inspection has produced the same clean outcome, showing no deterioration in mechanical condition. At 14 years old, the vehicle averages 1,705 miles per year, a figure well below typical usage for a 2012 model. Mileage rose by roughly 750‑960 miles each year between 2022 and 2026, with no extended periods of inactivity evident in the test log, suggesting consistent, light‑to‑moderate use and regular testing. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and check the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust, especially given the vehicle’s age despite low kilometres.
