Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2025-09-24 MOT at 70,146 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle’s current condition remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has stabilized after the earlier 2025-09-18 failure, which also logged no recorded defects. The consecutive passes in September 2024 and September 2025 indicate consistent remedial attention and no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage trajectory shows steady growth from 42,260 miles in September 2022 to 70,146 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s eight‑year age and suggests regular usage without prolonged periods of low activity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for rust, and check the exhaust system for emissions compliance, while also confirming tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as the MOT history records no major faults but does not assess these consumable items.
