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

The August 26 2025 MOT at 76,676 miles passed the vehicle but the tester flagged near‑limit brake linings, worn and pitted discs, corroded brake pipes covered in grease, perishing tyres and severely corroded rear coil springs, showing a worsening trend in structural and brake condition. Mileage has risen steadily from 13,138 miles in July 2015 to 76,676 miles in August 2025, a gain of roughly 5,500 miles per year, with no evident long periods of standing; the low annual figure reflects the early low‑kilometre years rather than recent neglect. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear sub‑frames for rust‑induced weakening, examine the coil springs for cracks or corrosion, verify that the brake pipes are free of corrosion and that the calipers move freely, check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and test the suspension bushes and anti‑roll bar linkages for play or damage.
