Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT on 15 August 2025 records a pass at 89,210 miles, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory requirements at that date. A simultaneous fail entry for the same test shows no defects, suggesting a clerical discrepancy rather than a mechanical issue; no recurring faults appear in the record. Mileage has risen from 59,196 miles on 26 September 2022 to 70,470 miles on 29 August 2023, then to 89,210 miles by August 2025. Over the first three‑year span the car accumulated roughly 11,300 miles, then added about 18,700 miles in the following two years, averaging around 6,500 miles per year recently. For a 2008 model this total of 89,210 miles remains low, implying relatively light use and limited wear on major components. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, as mileage growth can accelerate wear on these elements. Inspect brake discs and pads for any glazing or uneven wear, and confirm tyre tread depth and uniformity. A visual check for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and exhaust system will ensure structural integrity has not been compromised. Although the MOT history shows no recorded defects, a thorough in‑person examination of these areas will confirm the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
