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 currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of mechanical non-compliance. The most recent MOT test conducted on 27 August 2025 at 60,860 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car is currently meeting all regulatory standards. This marks a significant improvement over the mid-2023 period, where the vehicle failed two consecutive tests before achieving a pass. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the August 2024 test at 47,958 miles and the August 2025 test at 60,860 miles, the vehicle covered 12,902 miles. This represents a notable spike in usage compared to the annual average, which likely accounts for increased wear on consumables during that interval, though the overall figure suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress. The two failures in August 2023 at 38,160 and 38,589 miles suggest a specific mechanical issue required immediate attention to pass inspection. While the record does not detail the specific components for those failures, a buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushings and brake calipers to ensure the structural integrity remains free of significant corrosion. Given the clean records of the last two tests, the previous issues appear to have been resolved, but a physical inspection should focus on any signs of fluid leaks or uneven tyre wear resulting from the recent mileage increase.
