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 test on 2026-02-17 resulted in a clean pass at 78,424 miles, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance trend is worsening; the vehicle failed its previous test on 2026-02-16 due to severe brake binding and imbalance, which were not resolved until the second attempt. The low annual mileage of approximately 4,613 miles per year suggests the car has seen minimal use and likely spent considerable time stationary, which can accelerate corrosion and degrade rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre perishing. Buyers should conduct a thorough visual inspection of the suspension arms, brake calipers, and exhaust system, as these areas have consistently shown wear and looseness. Additionally, the persistent tyre tread issues and rear wheel bearing noise highlight the need to verify the current condition of the remaining tyres and wheel bearings before purchase.
