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 currently fails the MOT on 2025-03-07, with a recent test date of 2026-06-17, indicating that the most recent inspection was approximately two and a half years ago. This places the failure well within the normal aging window for a used car, as the vehicle has not recently passed its test. The maintenance trend is stable, as no new faults were recorded since the last successful test, suggesting that the vehicle has not accumulated significant wear or structural damage that would necessitate immediate attention. Regarding the mileage history, the vehicle has maintained roughly 6,159 miles per year for the past 17 years, which is consistent with its age. While the mileage is acceptable for the vehicle's condition, there are notable gaps in the test dates that suggest the vehicle may have been driven for extended periods without regular servicing. The absence of a test date on 2024-03-25 implies that the vehicle was likely driven for over a year without a MOT, which could indicate a lack of basic upkeep. The test on 2024-03-30 shows that the vehicle passed on 104,711 miles, confirming that the mileage has been maintained consistently throughout the record. Given the recurring faults, particularly the failure on 2025-03-07 and the subsequent failure on 2024-03-25, the vehicle has experienced a significant deterioration in braking performance and engine reliability. While the brake disc wear is noted as not seriously weakened, the failure on 2024-03-25 indicates that the vehicle has not been serviced in the last 12 months, which could lead to reduced braking efficiency and increased risk of failure. The central exhaust leak on 2023-03-13 suggests that the vehicle has not been inspected for exhaust integrity recently, which is a critical component for emissions compliance. A buyer should inspect the rear brakes and engine cooling system in person, as the binding condition of the rear brake discs and the lack of recent engine checks warrant a thorough inspection of these components.
