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 clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 December 2025 at 81,688 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car is currently meeting all statutory safety standards. This follows a clean pass in January 2025, suggesting that the previous owner has proactively addressed any minor issues that may have surfaced between tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old performance vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, with 5,000 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, followed by a 4,150-mile interval between January 2025 and December 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been left sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals, rubber components, and fluid integrity that can degrade when a car remains stationary. A physical inspection should focus on the front axle geometry and suspension components given the 2023 advisory regarding front inner tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge. This specific fault often points to worn suspension bushes, incorrect alignment, or control arm wear rather than simple tyre age. While the most recent tests show no active defects, a buyer should still check for uneven tread patterns on the current tyres to ensure the steering remains true and the suspension is not under undue lateral stress. The presence of an under tray noted in both 2022 and 2023 is a positive indicator of protection for the lower mechanical components against road debris and corrosion.
