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 on 28 November 2025 at 83,959 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 3 November 2025 and 4 November 2024, the lack of listed defects in the record suggests these failures were for minor issues quickly rectified to achieve a pass shortly after. The mileage is low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2025, the odometer rose from 74,727 to 83,959 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of approximately 4,600 miles annually over the last two years. This suggests the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over the last three years. While the lack of flagged faults is positive, a buyer should still manually inspect the underbody for structural rust, as the DVSA record does not always detail minor corrosion that falls short of a failure. Given the low mileage and clean record, focus your physical inspection on consumables that degrade with age regardless of distance. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking and verify the fluid levels and colours to ensure the oil and coolant have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals rather than just by mileage.
