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

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure in May 2024. The most recent test on 11 May 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results seen in May 2025 and May 2024. This follows a period of neglect regarding tyre maintenance that was highlighted during the 2024 inspection. The recorded mileage of 47,951 miles suggests a low annual usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,994 miles per year. The MOT history covers a five-year period from April 2023 to May 2026. While the mileage is relatively low, the 2024 test results indicate that consumables were not being monitored closely despite the infrequent use. The May 2024 test failure was specifically related to tyre tread depth and wiper efficiency. The tester flagged a dangerous defect for the nearside front tyre with tread below the 1.6mm legal requirement, alongside several advisories for worn edges on the rear tyres. While these issues appear to have been rectified given the subsequent clean passes in 2025 and 2026, a buyer should inspect the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they meet legal standards. Beyond the tyres, the 2024 record noted a major defect regarding the offside front windscreen wiper failing to clear the glass effectively. Although no structural corrosion or suspension component failures appear in this specific record, the previous failure on tyres suggests a pattern where basic consumable maintenance may have been deferred. A physical inspection of the wiper blades and the overall condition of the rubber components is advised. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
