Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 9 April 2026 at 73,919 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 5,686 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, though there was a notable increase between April 2024 and April 2025, where the odometer rose from 64,708 to 72,085 miles. A brief failure occurred on 3 April 2024 at 64,701 miles, but the vehicle passed one week later with negligible mileage increase, indicating a quick rectification of a minor fault. The absence of advisories over the last three years is unusual for a thirteen year old vehicle and suggests a high standard of preventative care. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes mask issues related to vehicle stagnation, such as perished rubber seals or battery degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and suspension components for signs of surface corrosion, as the MOT record provides no data on structural integrity or the condition of the suspension bushes. Check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust and verify the age of the tyres. While the tester flagged no defects in April 2026, low-mileage cars often run tyres beyond their safe rubber age regardless of remaining tread depth. Confirming the service history will determine if the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT record.
