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 stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend in its most recent inspections. The April 2026 test at 43,185 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean result in October 2025 at 38,520 miles. This recent history suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets all legal requirements without immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 43,185 miles, averaging roughly 8,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 18,074 miles in May 2024 to 43,185 miles by April 2026. This pattern indicates regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components often found in low-use vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre wear patterns noted in the earlier history. The March 2024 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and the April 2025 test identified both front tyres wearing on the edges. These recurring advisory items suggest potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. While the most recent tests show no such defects, a physical inspection of the current tyre tread and an assessment of the suspension bushes and steering components would be prudent to ensure the previous alignment issues have been resolved. The minor failure in May 2024 regarding a missing registration plate lamp appears to be a simple consumable oversight rather than a sign of neglect. Aside from the intermittent tyre wear, the MOT record shows no history of brake binding, exhaust emissions failures, or structural corrosion. The vehicle's history is largely unremarkable, which is a positive indicator for a used EV of this age.
