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

The vehicle's official roadworthiness status is currently unverified. The most recent MOT record dates back to 16 June 2022, meaning the vehicle has been without a valid test for over four years. While that specific test at 196,347 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the significant gap in testing history makes it impossible to determine the current mechanical state or maintenance trend. The recorded mileage of 196,347 miles is typical for an 18 year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 10,908 miles per year. However, the data shows a complete stagnation in mileage between the 2022 test and the current date of July 2026. This suggests the vehicle has likely been stationary for several years, which introduces specific risks associated with long-term storage. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Long periods of inactivity often lead to binding calipers, seized brake discs, and perished tyre sidewalls. The lack of recent usage increases the likelihood of fluid leaks and battery failure. Particular attention should be paid to the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, as stationary vehicles in damp environments often suffer structural rust. The engine should be checked for signs of oil degradation and the cooling system for leaks. Given the age and the four year testing void, a full mechanical overhaul is likely required before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy.
