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 following a successful test on May 26, 2026, 76,318 miles. While the car maintains a passing status, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline regarding front-end upkeep. The two most recent tests have flagged recurring issues with the front tyres, moving from simple perishing in 2025 to active inner tread wear and physical damage on both sides in the 2026 inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with a 5,632-mile interval between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 3,301 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This regularity suggests typical commuter use rather than long periods ofກັບ, though the lack of recorded advisories in the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates the vehicle was in peak mechanical condition during that period. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment due to the persistent inner tread wear noted on both front tyres in the 2026 report. This pattern often indicates incorrect camber, worn control arm bushes, or faulty tracking components that will continue to accelerate tyre replacement. Additionally, the offside front seat belt webbing flagged in 2022 should be checked to ensure the fraying has not worsened, as it was not mentioned in subsequent tests.
