Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent MOT test conducted in December 2025 at 72,189 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in late 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle well enough to avoid recurring mechanical failures. The mileage data reflects a relatively high-frequency usage pattern. With 72,189 miles on a six-year-old vehicle, the car averages approximately 12,000 miles per annum, which is slightly above the UK national average but consistent with regular motorway or urban commuting. There is a notable gap between June 2023 at 41,014 miles and May 2024 at 54,931 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 14,000 miles in just eleven months. The subsequent accumulation of roughly 8,700 miles between May 2024 and December 2025 shows the vehicle remains in active use. While the record is largely clean, the failure on May 30, 2024, at 54,931 miles, just two miles before a successful retest, warrants attention. Although specific defects were not listed in the summary for that failure, a buyer should verify the current condition of components that typically trigger failures at this mileage. Given the high annual mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs and pads is necessary. The lack of advisories in the most recent tests suggests the structural integrity and exhaust components remain in good condition for now.
