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 in a fundamentally roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 06 May 2026 at 55,268 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in late 2025 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters over time. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with 4,219 miles covered between September 2024 and October 2025, and another 4,433 miles between October 2025 and May 2026. This regular interval is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and braking systems, as it prevents the premature seizing or corrosion of components often associated with long periods of inactivity. The only recorded failures in the history occurred in September 2024 at approximately 42,600 miles, specifically regarding tyre condition. The tester flagged a cut in the nearside rear tyre reaching the cords, followed by a failure for an improperly fitted tyre obstructing the driver's view. These were consumable-related issues that were immediately rectified to achieve a pass. A buyer should still inspect the current condition of all four tyres to ensure they meet depth requirements without sidew damage, as the history indicates the previous owner may have overlooked basic tyre checks until the test forced action.
