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 shows a stable maintenance trend with no recorded defects across its recent MOT history. The most recent pass on 20 December 2022 at 112,162 miles indicates the car met the minimum legal roadworthiness standards at that time. However, the vehicle has not undergone a documented MOT test in over three and a half years relative to the current date of 17 July 2026. This creates a significant data gap regarding its current mechanical state. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,216 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between May 2021 and May 2022, where the odometer rose from 88,869 to 104,672 miles. Following this period, the vehicle became largely stagnant. Between May 2022 and December 2022, it covered only 7,490 miles, and the record shows no further mileage increases after 20 December 2022. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components prone to deterioration during long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, the lack of recent testing suggests the car may have been standing. You should specifically check for seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and battery health. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion and check the suspension bushes for cracking. Given the 112,162 mile reading, a technician should verify the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these service items are critical for this engine and are not captured in a standard MOT test.
