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 test on 2025-10-15 at 171,938 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This is the fourth consecutive pass, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained in recent years, with no defects recorded in the last four tests. The recorded mileage of 171,938 miles, accumulated over about 21 years, is roughly typical for its age, with an average annual mileage of approximately 8,188 miles. This steady mileage pattern suggests that the vehicle has been used consistently, with no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation. The recent MOT history is clean, with no defects recorded in the last four tests, further supporting this conclusion. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and exhaust system in person. The vehicle's recent MOT history does not indicate any major structural or mechanical issues, but the 2023 MOT failure at 163,587 miles suggests that there may have been a minor issue that was later rectified. The buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as well as the brake discs and pads, to ensure that they are in good condition. Additionally, they should inspect the exhaust system for any signs of leaks or damage. The buyer should also inspect the vehicle's bodywork for any signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to rust such as the sills and wheel arches. The vehicle's age and mileage mean that some level of corrosion is likely, but a buyer should check the extent of any damage to ensure that it does not compromise the vehicle's structural integrity.
