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 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 74,180 miles. While it failed the test on that same day due to a non-functional offside side repeater, this was rectified immediately to secure a pass. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently met minimum standards without major mechanical failures or structural defects over the last three testing cycles. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 74,180 miles represents low annual usage, averaging 5,700 miles per year. The usage pattern is consistent, with 6,308 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, and another 5,167 miles in the preceding year. This low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the October 2024 test at 67,872 miles flagged a corroded offside front brake pipe obscured by grease. Although this was an advisory rather than a failure, it indicates the potential for fluid leaks or structural weakening of the lines. A physical inspection should verify the condition of all brake lines and calipers to ensure corrosion has not progressed. Additionally, the deteriorated front registration plate noted in 2024 should be checked for legibility to avoid future failures.
