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The vehicle's recorded maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, though the MOT history is now significantly outdated. The most recent test on 12 December 2022 at 60,304 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2019, indicating a car that has historically been kept in good mechanical order. The mileage is very low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 3,769 miles per year. Between May 2019 and December 2022, the odometer rose from 40,539 to 60,304 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,000 miles per annum during that period. However, the vehicle has not undergone a recorded inspection in over three years. This gap suggests the car may have been stationary for a prolonged period since the last test. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Long periods of inactivity often lead to binding calipers, perished brake hoses, and flat-spotted tyres. While the 2020 failure on 11 November at 48,719 miles was resolved quickly, the lack of any recorded advisories over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion and check the suspension bushes for cracking. Low-mileage cars often suffer from dry-rot in suspension mounts and engine seals that leak once the vehicle returns to regular use. Verify the current state of the fluids and battery, as these are the primary failure points for cars that have sat idle since late 2022.
