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 test on 2026-06-08 with 129,921 miles, despite some minor issues. However, the maintenance trend is worsening, with the vehicle failing its previous test on 2026-06-04 due to several problems, including nearside headlamp aim too high, windscreen washer providing insufficient liquid, and corroded rear suspension arms. The recorded mileage of 129,921 miles, accumulated over approximately 23 years, suggests a relatively low annual mileage of around 5,649 miles. This is a positive indicator, as lower mileage can reflect lighter use or long periods standing, which can be beneficial for the vehicle's overall condition. However, it is worth noting that the mileage pattern is not entirely consistent, with some gaps and a relatively rapid accumulation of mileage in the past few years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension and steering system, given the recurring issues with corroded rear suspension arms and worn lower suspension arm pins or bushes. Additionally, the vehicle's brakes should be inspected, as the recent tests have flagged slight grease leakage from the offside front inner hub. Furthermore, the underside of the vehicle is corroded, and the buyer should examine the extent of the corrosion to determine its impact on the vehicle's structural integrity.
