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

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 126,328 miles, which is the most recent test date recorded in the MOT history. This indicates that the vehicle has been tested less than two years ago, placing the most recent test at 126,327 miles on 2024-04-16. The vehicle's history reveals a distinct progression in maintenance status, with the most recent test failing on suspension components due to a fluid leak, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped between the 2023-09-13 and 2024-04-16 tests. This gap in maintenance is compounded by the fact that the most recent test is now occurring at a mileage of 126,327 miles, which is significantly lower than the 147,766 miles recorded at the previous test date of 2026-05-13. The rapid accumulation of mileage since the last test suggests that the vehicle has been driven for over two years without a major overhaul or replacement of critical components. The data indicates that the vehicle has experienced a rapid increase in mileage since the last MOT, moving from 126,327 miles in April 2024 to 147,766 miles in May 2026. This pattern of accelerated mileage accumulation over a two-year period implies that the vehicle has been used for over two years without a scheduled service, leading to the wear of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The failure of the most recent test at 126,327 miles points to a specific mechanical issue, likely involving suspension bushings or brake components, which is a serious structural risk that requires immediate attention. The vehicle's condition has deteriorated significantly since the last test, with multiple failures on the front and rear tyres and various suspension parts, indicating that the vehicle has been driven for over two years without a major overhaul or replacement of critical components. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks associated with the identified issues, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to address the suspension bushings and brake discs, as well as the structural integrity of the front and rear tyres. The history of failing on the most recent test at 126,327 miles suggests that basic upkeep was skipped between the 2023-09-13 and 2024-04-16 tests, which is a critical gap in the vehicle's history.
