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 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 7 May 2026 at 31,140 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last several years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2004 model, averaging approximately 1,415 miles per year. The records show the vehicle has covered only 2,600 miles since the 2010 test at 28,560 miles. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the extremely slow progression from 29,805 miles in 2021 to 31,140 miles in 2026 indicates the vehicle spends significant periods stationary. This pattern of infrequent use can lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. The MOT history shows minimal intervention, with only minor consumable or fitment issues flagged. The tester noted a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit in April 2010 and a pitted rear brake disc in March 2021. A loose rider's seat was identified in March 2024, though this was resolved by the following year. Because the vehicle has been used so sparingly, a buyer should focus on inspecting the condition of all rubber seals, suspension bushes, and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking rather than tread wear. Given the long periods of inactivity implied by the mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise the braking system to ensure the discs and pads have not suffered from surface corrosion or sticking due to lack of use. Checking the battery health and fuel system integrity would also be prudent, as these components often degrade during extended periods of storage.
