AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent DVSA test on 28 March 2022 at 131,952 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle meets roadworthiness standards as of that date. No subsequent defects have been logged, indicating a stable maintenance record. The mileage increased from 131,802 miles on 4 January 2022 to 131,952 miles by the end of March 2022, a gain of roughly 150 miles over 83 days, which aligns with typical annual usage for a 20‑year‑old vehicle. No extended idle periods are evident in the record, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged storage. A buyer must inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear. Checking for structural rust on the chassis and subframes, and verifying exhaust emissions compliance, will reveal any hidden corrosion or fluid leaks. Given the clean defect history, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, but a physical check of structural integrity and brake performance remains essential before purchase.
