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 currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 100%, indicating that the MOT has passed on 2025-08-13. The most recent test was conducted on 2025-08-13, confirming that the engine and drivetrain have not suffered from the specific mechanical faults that would cause a failure. However, the history of the vehicle suggests a potential trend of stability or slight deterioration in the rear suspension components, which is a significant concern for a 2016 model. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an age of approximately 10 years, with the most recent test occurring 12,863 miles after the initial 2025-08-13 date. This pattern indicates that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity for the majority of its life, with no rapid mileage spikes suggesting accelerated wear on critical components like the brakes or suspension bushings. The absence of defects in the rear tyres and the absence of binding calipers in the most recent test suggest that the drivetrain has remained sound for the past 12,863 miles. Given the consistent passing of the MOT on the most recent date and the absence of binding calipers or structural issues, the vehicle is generally considered to be in good condition. However, the history of failed tests on the nearside front headlamp and worn rear tyres indicates that the vehicle may have been neglected or that basic upkeep was skipped, as the wear on the rear tyres has been noted on both sides. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the binding calipers, as these components are the most likely candidates for failure given the history of rear tyre wear.
