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 record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with two recorded MOT tests resulting in passes. While the September 2024 inspection was entirely clear of defects, the test on 2 September 2025 noted specific concerns regarding the front tyres, indicating the first emergence of wear-related advisories since the vehicle entered the testing cycle. The recorded mileage of 41,973 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,395 miles. This level of usage is typical for a vehicle of this age, meaning the mechanical components, including the hybrid drivetrain and CVT transmission, have been subjected to standard operational wear. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest erratic usage patterns. Attention must be directed toward the front tyres, as both the nearside and offside front tyres were flagged for being slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing in the latest report. A close visual inspection of the tyre sidewalls is required to identify any perished rubber or surface cracking. During a test drive, feel for any steering instability or unusual vibrations through the steering wheel, which can be symptomatic of tyre degradation or uneven tread wear.
