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

The 2026‑02‑24 MOT at 115,646 miles passed, confirming the vehicle is currently roadworthy, and the maintenance record shows a stabilising trend after earlier periods of recurring CV boot and suspension faults. Mileage has risen from 42,784 miles in the 2016 test to 115,646 miles in the 2026 test, an increase of roughly 72,800 miles over ten years, or about 7,300 miles per year, with no extended intervals of inactivity evident between the 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 examinations. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front suspension bushes and ball joints, the anti‑roll bar pins and bushes, and verify that the constant‑velocity boots on both outer drive shafts are intact, as these components have repeatedly appeared as advisories; additionally, the tyres, brake discs and pads, headlamp aim and lens condition, and any signs of structural rust or damage to the under‑wing guard should be inspected in person.
