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 roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 9 August 2025 at 101,648 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a failure on 2 August 2025 at 101,449 miles, though the record lacks specific defect details for that failed attempt. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 12-year age, averaging roughly 8,471 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2023 test at 85,974 miles and the August 2024 test at 94,791 miles shows a steady usage of 8,817 miles. The most recent interval from August 2024 to August 2025 saw a slight increase to 6,857 miles, suggesting a regular and predictable driving cycle. The MOT history is exceptionally clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion across the five recorded tests. The absence of advisories regarding exhaust emissions or structural integrity suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these consumables are likely due for replacement given the 101,648 mileage. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion, which is typical for a 2014 model regardless of a clean test record.
