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

The most recent MOT in August 2025 initially resulted in a failure due to a non-working offside dipped beam headlamp and three tyres worn close to the legal limit. These defects were rectified to achieve a pass. The overall history is relatively clean and the condition trend appears stable. Aside from the recent tyre and bulb issues, the only other noted items were in 2022, where the front inner brake discs were described as worn, pitted, or scored, and the front inner brake pads were wearing thin. The recorded mileage of 95,062 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age. This suggests a consistent pattern of use, meaning the buyer should expect standard wear on the drivetrain and suspension components rather than the risks associated with excessive hard use or the degradation caused by long periods of standing. The most important checks for a buyer are to verify the current condition and brand of the tyres to ensure the 2025 defects were properly addressed, and to inspect the front brake discs and pads to see if the wear noted in 2022 was ever rectified.
