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 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 103,784 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 30 May 2024 at 87,521 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a 2017 registered car. The odometer climbed from 66,574 miles at the May 2023 test to 87,518 miles by May 2024, then to 103,784 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 20,000 miles in the first interval and 16,000 in the second, both above the implied annual average of 11,532 but not extreme for a commuter vehicle. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three pass results and two same-day failures showing no defects logged, so no wear pattern or recurring fault can be established from the record alone. The repeated failures on 18 May 2023 and 30 May 2024, both at mileage within one mile of the subsequent passes and with no defects cited, suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical defect. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the car is now nine years old with over 100,000 miles. The clean MOT trail offers no warning of consumable wear, so tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody rust should be verified independently before purchase.
