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 passed its most recent MOT on 10 July 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, moving from advisories regarding tyre condition in 2023 to minor defects in 2025, before returning to a clean certificate in the latest test. While the most recent result shows no immediate failures, the presence of minor defects in the August 2025 test indicates that certain non-critical components require attention. The recorded mileage of 107,030 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 4,865 miles over the vehicle's 22-year lifespan. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent road use. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing from 2022 through 2026, with no significant gaps in the inspection timeline. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages, following the deterioration noted in the 2025 test. The 2023 advisories concerning the offside front tyre cracking and the offside rear tyre reaching the legal limit suggest that consumable items like tyres may be subject to age-related perishing rather than just tread wear. It is also necessary to verify the functionality of the headlamp switch and the illumination of the dipped beam headlamps to ensure the minor defect noted in 2025 has been rectified.
