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's MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of pass results, following a failure in November 2024. The most recent test on 15 November 2024 shows a clean pass with no defects recorded after the vehicle failed on a headlight alignment issue. This failure, specifically regarding the nearside front headlamp aim being too high and too far to the right, appears to be a minor lighting adjustment rather than a mechanical or structural deficiency. The recorded mileage of 86,235 miles suggests a consistent usage pattern for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,840 miles per year. The MOT records cover a period from June 2022 to November 2024. While the data is relatively sparse, there are no indications of sudden mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity between the recorded test dates. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The June 2022 test included an advisory for a nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This suggests potential issues with suspension geometry or alignment that could lead to uneven tyre wear. Although no such advisories appeared in the 2023 or 2024 tests, checking the current tread depth and ensuring even wear across all four tyres remains a necessary step. Beyond the lighting and tyre advisories, the MOT history does not flag any recurring issues with brakes, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion. The lack of recorded defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates that the primary components subject to MOT scrutiny have met the required standards during these specific inspections.
