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 is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at 75,739 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without mechanical failures or noted wear over the last three years. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,410 miles per year. The distance covered between the July 2023 test at 70,315 miles and the July 2025 test at 75,739 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 2,700 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. The MOT record is unusually clean for a fourteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or exhaust emissions. While the record shows failures on 4 July 2023 and 10 July 2024, these were resolved almost immediately, and the lack of specific defect descriptions suggests these were likely administrative or minor issues rather than structural failures. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention structural integrity. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads for age-related perishing, as low-mileage cars often require consumables replacement due to time rather than wear. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred regardless of the low annual mileage.
