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 a stable and favourable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 2 November 2021 at 69,170 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests on 31 October 2020 at 59,718 miles and 6 May 2019 at 42,687 miles also passed cleanly. No advisories or failures appear across the three-year span, indicating consistent mechanical condition with no worsening faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2016 registration, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year. The record shows 16,431 miles added between May 2019 and October 2020, then 9,452 miles to November 2021. A notable gap exists after the November 2021 test, leaving roughly four years and eight months with no further MOT data at the current date of 18 July 2026, so the present 69,170 miles may be stale or the car has since been idle or off-road. Given the clean history, no recurring suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion were flagged by testers. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underbody structural integrity, brake caliper operation, and tyre sidewall condition, as these items degrade with standing time absent from the record. The long dormancy since the last test means fluid degradation, seized handbrake mechanisms, and flat-spotted tyres are plausible despite the prior clean passes. Verify the actual odometer reading and confirm a fresh MOT before purchase, as the static mileage figure offers no insight into the vehicle's state across the intervening years.
