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 shows a stable maintenance trend over the last three years, with the most recent test on 20 May 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows consecutive passes in May 2024 and May 2023. The record does show a single failure on 09 June 2022, though the specific mechanical reason for that failure was not documented in the provided data. The recorded mileage of 108,338 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,223 miles per year. The MOT history shows regular annual testing without significant gaps in the inspection cycle. No rapid spikes in mileage or long periods of inactivity are evident from the available data points. Because the recent MOT entries show no advisories or defects, the documentation suggests that consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades were within legal limits at the time of testing. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear items for a vehicle of this age and mileage, specifically checking for corrosion on the underside, the condition of suspension bushes, and any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox. A buyer should also verify the current state of the braking system, including the discs and calipers, to ensure no binding or uneven wear has developed since the May 2025 test. While the recent history is clean, the absence of recorded advisories means the actual mechanical condition of components like coil springs or exhaust sections remains unverified beyond the last passing certificate.
