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

The 27 November 2025 MOT at 80,540 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently satisfies DVSA roadworthiness requirements and reflects a stable maintenance trend despite a same‑day failure that also listed no recorded faults. Since the 14 November 2023 test at 68,155 miles, the odometer has risen to 80,540 miles by 27 November 2025, an increase of 12,385 miles over just over two years, averaging roughly 6,200 miles per year; the interval from 30 November 2024 to 5 December 2024 added only 76 miles, while the subsequent 11‑month period recorded 5,911 miles, indicating periods of regular use punctuated by brief lulls. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the binding condition of the rear brake calipers, and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, while also checking the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust and the exhaust system for cracks or excessive corrosion that could affect emissions. Given the recent pass and the moderate mileage trend, the vehicle appears well maintained, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the suspension, braking, structural and exhaust components remains essential to verify actual condition.
