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 remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 79,365 miles passed, though it highlighted an advisory for front tyres worn close to the legal limit on both edges. This mirrors a fault noted in December 2021 at 47,413 miles, suggesting a recurring pattern of tyre wear rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between December 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 31,952 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage pattern. The lack of recorded defects during the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests indicates that the vehicle did not suffer from significant structural or mechanical-related failures during that three-year period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry. The recurring uneven wear on the front tyres noted in both 2021 and 2025 often indicates poor alignment, worn suspension bushes, or failing control arms. While the MOT record is clean of structural corrosion, this specific pattern suggests the front end requires a professional alignment check to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
