Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT pass on 30 June 2025 at 48,272 miles was achieved with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health suggests the car is in good mechanical order relative to its current age. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a five year old vehicle. Between the August 2024 test at 42,713 miles and the June 2025 test at 48,272 miles, the car covered 5,559 miles. This indicates a steady rate of use without periods of prolonged standing or excessive short-trip accumulation that might stress the diesel particulate filter. The record shows a failure on 20 June 2025, followed by a pass ten days later. While the data provided lists no specific defects for either event, such a quick turnaround usually points to a minor failure that was rectified immediately. There are no recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the available history. A buyer should focus on a physical inspection of consumables that the MOT does not always flag as failures until they reach a legal limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Given the lack of advisories, the primary goal is to confirm that the service intervals for the TDI engine have been followed, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness rather than comprehensive mechanical servicing.
