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 passed its most recent MOT on 2025-09-08 with a single defect recorded: a lump on the nearside rear tyre, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure. This suggests a potential safety risk due to uneven tyre wear. The recurring mechanical pattern in the MOT history is related to tyre wear. Since 2022, there have been three instances of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or showing edge wear. This trend is worsening as the most recent MOT revealed a more severe tyre defect. The mileage of 113,684 miles for a 10-year-old vehicle is roughly in line with typical usage. However, the rate of mileage accumulation (around 11,368 miles per year) suggests the vehicle has seen regular use, but the exact nature of this use is unclear. Given the recent tyre defect, it is essential for the buyer to inspect the tyres closely, checking for any further signs of uneven wear or damage. In addition, the buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components for any signs of wear or damage that may be related to the high mileage and regular use.
