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

The 2026‑01‑17 MOT at 94,034 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows no evidence of worsening condition. Mileage has risen from 70,680 miles in the January 2022 test to 94,034 miles in the January 2026 test, a total increase of 23,354 miles over four years, or roughly 5,800 miles per year. The most pronounced jump occurred between the January 2022 and January 2023 tests, when the odometer climbed 12,562 miles in a single year, suggesting a period of intensified use or extended standing periods. Apart from that interval, the incremental mileage each subsequent year has been modest, indicating a generally steady usage pattern. Although the MOT history records no structural or mechanical failures, a buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often exhibit wear that is not captured in a standard test. Inspection of brake discs, pads and calipers for scoring or binding, and assessment of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, are advisable. Particular attention should be given to any signs of structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, as well as the integrity of the drivetrain mounts and battery housing, which are known failure points on this model. The absence of recorded defects across five consecutive annual tests suggests that previous owners have maintained the car according to the manufacturer’s service schedule, but a physical examination remains essential to confirm that consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and brake pads have been replaced in a timely manner and that no hidden damage has developed since the last MOT.
