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

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-10-13 at 139,619 miles, but with several advisories. The maintenance trend appears stable, with a consistent pattern of minor defects being reported over the past few years. However, there is a notable worsening of the condition of the suspension and wheel bearings, with the nearside suspension arm ball joint showing slight play and the offside rear wheel bearing being slightly noisy. The recorded mileage of 139,619 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, with an average annual mileage of around 6,070 miles. Notably, there are some gaps in the mileage records, with a jump of over 2,000 miles between 2018 and 2019, and another jump of over 1,000 miles between 2022 and 2023. However, the overall mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age and usage. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person, paying particular attention to the suspension and wheel bearings. The nearside suspension arm ball joint has shown slight play, and the offside rear wheel bearing is slightly noisy. Additionally, the headlamp has a product on the lens, and the rear tyres have shown signs of damage and wear. The vehicle's braking system should also be inspected, as the front brake pads have been shown to be wearing thin in the past. Furthermore, the vehicle's structural integrity should be checked for any signs of rust or corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and suspension components. It is also worth noting that the vehicle has a history of minor defects being reported, including issues with the tyre tread, brake pads, and suspension components. While these issues are not necessarily major concerns, they do suggest that the vehicle may require more frequent maintenance and repairs than a newer vehicle.
