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

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available data, though the record is significantly outdated. The most recent pass occurred on 6 October 2021 at 81,324 miles with no defects recorded. Because there are no MOT entries for nearly five years leading up to July 2026, the current roadworthiness cannot be verified. The car has effectively been off the road or untested for a substantial period. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,777 miles per year. The distance covered between 19 July 2019 at 57,033 miles and 1 October 2020 at 70,158 miles shows a steady accumulation of 13,125 miles. However, the vehicle has remained stagnant at 81,324 miles since October 2021, suggesting a prolonged period of inactivity. A buyer must prioritise a full mechanical inspection to address the risks associated with long-term standing. Brake discs often suffer from surface corrosion and calipers can seize when a car sits idle, so checking for binding brakes is essential. The rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, may have perished or developed flat spots despite the low mileage. The lack of recent data means the current state of the exhaust emissions and structural integrity is unknown. A professional should check for chassis corrosion and verify that the engine starts and runs without leaks. Given the five year gap in testing, a comprehensive service and a fresh MOT are mandatory before this vehicle is considered roadworthy.
