AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2012 Great Wall Steed SE TD 4X4 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five available MOT tests. The most recent examination on 29 October 2024 at 105,690 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle met statutory standards at that point roughly eight months before the current date. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,549 miles per year. The record shows 77,159 miles in February 2019, rising to 86,678 by July 2020, 93,756 by July 2021, 100,327 in June 2022, and 105,690 by October 2024. A notable gap exists between the February 2019 and July 2020 tests spanning seventeen months, yet annual distances stayed consistent at roughly 7,000 to 7,500 miles. The sparse history of five passes with zero faults limits insight into component wear but suggests no formal failures or owner-neglected consumables were logged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 4x4 driveline. The clean MOT record does not exempt the Steed from latent corrosion on chassis members or underbody structural points common to this model after a decade of service. Verify the actual condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables fall outside the scope of a defect-free historical pass.
