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 has passed its most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 44,112 miles, with the only reported defect being a slightly damaged offside rear tyre. This suggests a relatively stable maintenance trend over the past two years, with no major structural or mechanical issues flagged by the tester. The vehicle's mileage pattern is notable for its low annual mileage, averaging around 5,514 miles per year, which is roughly 30% below the average annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records show a consistent pattern of annual tests with only minor consumable wear reported, such as worn brake pads and cracked exhaust brackets, suggesting that the vehicle has been properly maintained and stored. However, there is a notable gap in mileage between 2020 and 2021, with the vehicle accumulating only 1,774 miles over 11 months, which may indicate a period of storage or reduced use. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres closely, given the reported damage to the offside rear tyre. The central exhaust bracket, which snapped in 2022, should also be examined for any signs of structural weakness or damage. Additionally, the vehicle's brakes should be inspected for any signs of wear or damage, particularly the rear brakes which have been flagged as binding in previous tests. The buyer should also look for any signs of corrosion or rust on the vehicle's underside and suspension components, given the vehicle's age and mileage.
