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

The 2025‑10‑08 MOT at 37,846 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is currently roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition with no recurring faults since the 2024‑09‑19 test. The 37,846 miles accumulated over nine years equate to roughly 4,200 miles per year, a figure that is low for a 2017 model and suggests limited usage or periods of standing. The interval between the 2024‑09‑19 test and the 2025‑10‑08 test is just over eleven months, and the mileage increase of 3,249 miles aligns with normal annual use, while earlier tests were spaced about a year apart with consistent mileage growth. A buyer should verify that the rear stop lamp operates correctly, inspect the rear brakes for binding or worn pads, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, and check the condition of the brake discs and exhaust system for rust or damage. Overall the service history reflects diligent, regular testing with no evidence of neglect, but a physical inspection should confirm the integrity of braking components, suspension elements, and any signs of structural rust before purchase.
