Mechanical Assessment

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

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a history primarily marked by minor consumable failures rather than systemic mechanical defects. This stability is confirmed by the most recent clean pass on 14 August 2026, following a period where failures were limited to external lighting, wiper functionality, and tyre wear. The recorded mileage of 94,194 miles is typical for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,246 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly, which generally prevents the degradation associated with long-term standing, although it means standard wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings is to be expected for a vehicle of this age and distance. Attention should be directed toward the tyres and glazing during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of rear tyre wear between 2021 and 2022, as well as a significant cut to a front tyre in 2022. A prospective buyer should examine the current tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate a need for wheel alignment. Additionally, the reported damage to the upper windscreen in 2025 should be inspected to ensure it has not developed further cracks or obstructed the driver's line of sight. During a test drive, verify the efficiency of the windscreen wipers and washer system, as these were the cause of a failure in 2024. While the record is relatively clean regarding structural integrity and braking systems, the age of the vehicle warrants a check for any knocks or vibrations through the steering wheel and pedal, which would indicate wear in the suspension linkages or brake discs.
