Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT on 15 September 2022 at 169,334 miles shows a pass with no defects recorded, though the same-day failure with no defects listed points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend across the available record reads as stable, with four passes and two anomalous failures between 2020 and 2022 all carrying zero recorded defects. No worsening mechanical condition is evidenced in the data. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,056 miles per year for a 24-year-old vehicle, with the record showing 154,893 miles on 14 August 2020, 162,387 miles on 14 September 2021, and 169,334 miles on 15 September 2022. The 7,494-mile gain in year one and 6,947-mile gain in year two confirm steady, light use. The history is sparse, covering only three years, and the two same-day fail-pass pairs in 2020 and 2022 with no defects suggest clerical rejections rather than neglected upkeep. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a 2002 Bora at this age commonly suffers hidden rust unseen in a clean MOT. The tester recorded no advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions, but worn coil springs and binding calipers develop without warning between tests. Verify the V5C and DVSA backend to confirm the two zero-defect failures were administrative, not掩盖 of presented faults.
