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

The vehicle is currently in a passing roadworthiness status, having passed the MOT on September 29, 2025, at 65,367 miles. The test on that date was passed without any recorded defects. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of failure, specifically a failed test on September 26, 2023, at 56,579 miles, where the rear tyre was not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions. This indicates that while the vehicle has been serviced, the lack of corrective action on the most recent failure suggests a potential pattern of neglect or inconsistent upkeep. The mileage profile reflects a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded usage. The car is approximately 12 years old with 65,367 miles, or roughly 5,447 miles per year. This distance is low for a vehicle of that age, which typically implies either lighter use or extended periods of standing. The absence of gaps in the mileage suggests that the owner has maintained the vehicle at a rate of approximately 5,447 miles annually, which is consistent with the overall low mileage figure. Given the recurring faults, particularly the failed rear tyre fitting, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension and brakes. The history indicates that the rear tyre was not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions, which is a structural issue that requires immediate attention to prevent further wear. The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently passing, but the lack of corrective action on the most recent failure suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, which may indicate a need for more frequent maintenance or a more thorough inspection than a simple MOT would provide.
