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 shows an improving trend in its MOT history, moving from a series of advisories in late 2022 to two consecutive clean passes in 2023 and 2024. The most recent test on 5 June 2024 recorded no defects, indicating that the issues flagged in the previous year have been addressed or have not recurred. The recorded mileage of 137,231 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,862 miles per year. The MOT data covers a four-year period from November 2021 to June 2024. There are no indications of sudden mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity within this specific window, though the records only provide a snapshot of the vehicle's compliance rather than a full service history. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the areas highlighted in the November 2022 test. While the 2023 and 2024 tests were clear, the previous advisories for nearside and offside front tyre wear, as well as pitted or scored rear brake discs, suggest these consumable components require monitoring. The tester also noted a front oil leak that was not excessive during that 2022 inspection. Further attention should be directed toward the engine bay to verify if the previously noted oil leak has been rectified or if it persists. Checking the condition of the braking system and the remaining tread depth on all tyres is necessary to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with the standards seen in the recent clean passes. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
