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 high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistently clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 1 May 2025 at 101,207 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and safety components to a standard that avoids even minor failures, indicating a stable maintenance trend throughout the recorded history. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old luxury coupe, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between May 2021 (66,965 miles) and May 2025 (101,207 miles), the car covered 34,242 miles, showing a steady rate of use without unexplained periods of neglect. The 11,912-mile interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates regular driving habits, which is generally beneficial for preventing seal degradation and brake corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to wear at the 100,000-mile mark. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often degrade without triggering an MOT until significant failure. Given the mileage, checking the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and inspecting the drivetrain for oil leaks is also prudent, as the MOT only tests for functional safety rather than overall mechanical health.
