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 remains roadworthy, but the MOT trend is improving rather than deteriorating, with the most recent test in February 2026 passing at 74,252 miles without defects. This suggests the maintenance history is stable, as the vehicle has successfully maintained its condition over the past three years without recurring critical failures. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data is relatively clean with no significant gaps or rapid acceleration, though the gap between the two most recent tests (February 2025 and February 2026) is minimal, indicating consistent use. The vehicle has maintained a healthy 6,750 miles per year, which is typical for a 2015 model, suggesting that consumption rates are within normal limits for this age group. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear, specifically focusing on the rear suspension and brake components. The MOT history indicates that the rear coil spring fractured or broke in February 2023, which is a serious structural risk that requires immediate attention and replacement. Additionally, the rear brake disc has pitted or scored, which may indicate wear on the friction material itself. While the front brakes appear sound, the rear suspension and brake assembly are the primary areas of concern due to the identified fracture and pitting.
