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 clear improving trend in maintenance quality. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 150,354 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in September 2024 at 145,727 miles which also showed no advisories. The absence of defects in the last two years suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard, effectively resolving previous minor issues. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 44,887 miles in September 2014 to the current 150,354 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or periods of unexplained inactivity. The gradual increase in mileage suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the engine bay and glass integrity. The August 2023 test at 139,791 miles flagged a central front oil leak, though it was noted as not excessive. While the subsequent two tests show no further issues, a thorough check for fresh weeping around gaskets or seals is necessary. The record also shows a recurring pattern of windscreen damage, with chips or cracks appearing in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2023. The history also indicates intermittent neglect regarding consumable items. A failure in September 2019 due to low tyre tread and a 2020 advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre suggest that tyre maintenance has occasionally been overlooked. Although recent records are clean, the buyer should verify the current condition of all four tyres and the remaining brake pad thickness, particularly given the thin pads noted in the 2016 test at 73,996 miles.
