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 roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 30 December 2025 recorded a pass at 24 767 miles with no defects. The earlier failure on 3 January 2025, citing a rear tyre tear and offside rear tyre damage, was rectified, as the following test on 6 January 2025 showed a clean pass. The pattern indicates an improving trend after a single tyre issue, with subsequent tests remaining defect‑free. Mileage progression reflects light use; the car has accumulated roughly 2 500 miles per year over its ten‑year life, reaching 24 767 miles. The interval between the January 2025 tests is only three days, but the gap to the December 2025 test spans eleven months, a period that may allow minor wear to go unnoticed. Overall the mileage curve is stable and low, suggesting limited mechanical stress on consumables and drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect the rear tyres for tread separation, cracking or perishing, and verify that the tyre pressure is correct. Examine suspension bushes and shock absorbers for corrosion or excessive wear, as low mileage does not guarantee rust‑free components on a ten‑year‑old chassis. Check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and confirm that the child‑seat mounting allows full belt inspection. A visual scan for body corrosion, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels, will reveal any structural issues not captured by the MOT.
