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 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on June 4 2026 at 64,973 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable but reactive pattern rather than a proactive one. While the car consistently passes its tests, the recurring advisories regarding wear-and-tear components suggest that the owner addresses mechanical issues only when they approach legal limits or inspection failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance during scheduled intervals. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 39,427 miles and the 2026 test at 64,973 miles, the car covered 25,546 miles in two years, which aligns perfectly with the annual usage patterns seen between 2023 and 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used for regular commuting, which typically places predictable levels of stress on the suspension components and braking system. A buyer should focus on the front suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The record notes offside front tyre wear on the edge in 2026 and nearside front tyre wear in 2024. These recurring faults often indicate tracking misalignment, worn ball joints, or failing control arm bushes that lead to premature tyre degradation. Additionally, given the thin front brake pads flagged in 2023 at 32,198 miles, the current state of the front discs and pads should be verified for uneven wear or insufficient remaining life, as over 32,000 miles have passed since that specific advisory.
