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

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests over the last four years. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same day that also listed no specific defects. This sequence suggests the vehicle met the required standards for roadworthiness at the time of the 2025 inspection. The recorded mileage of 102,070 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 4,438 miles. This is low for a 2003 vehicle. While the record shows consistent annual testing between 2022 and 2025, the low mileage suggests the car has seen infrequent use. This pattern can sometimes lead to issues with components that degrade through lack of movement, such as rubber seals or braking components, rather than through high-frequency wear. Because the MOT records from 2022 through 2025 show no recorded advisories or failures regarding structural integrity, suspension, or braking systems, the history appears clean of documented mechanical faults. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underside for corrosion and check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, as these items are not always flagged in every test cycle. Checking the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding is also advisable given the low annual mileage.
