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 presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent test on 3 July 2025 with 211,114 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the current record indicates no active defects or outstanding advisories. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes suggests that mechanical components are currently meeting minimum legal standards, though the high mileage necessitates a cautious approach regarding wearrelated items. At 211,114 miles over 19 years, the car averages approximately 11,111 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage averages for a passenger vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 21,000 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 28,454 miles recorded between July 2024 and July 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which can be beneficial for rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and drivetrain bushings, as high mileage typically leads to significant wear on control arms, coil springs, and drop links on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential, as the MOT does not detect minor surface rust. Additionally, verify the absence of fluid leaks from the engine and gearbox, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of perished gaskets and seals.
