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 a stable maintenance trend according to the MOT history, with the most recent test on 29 September 2025 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a consistent pattern of passing consecutive annual tests from 2021 through 2025 without any recorded failures or advisories. The recorded mileage of 35,709 miles is low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 2,976 miles per year. The MOT records show no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or significant gaps in testing. While the low annual usage suggests lighter mechanical wear on components like the drivetrain and suspension, it can also indicate periods where the vehicle has remained stationary for extended durations. A physical inspection should focus on components that can degrade during periods of inactivity. A buyer should check for signs of perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack even if tread depth remains high. It is also prudent to inspect the braking system for seized calipers or corroded brake discs, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation and binding due to infrequent application. Checking the battery health and fluid condition would also be advisable given the low mileage profile. While the MOT history contains no recorded faults regarding emissions or structural integrity, the lack of documented repairs means the mechanical state of the engine and exhaust system remains unverified by these records alone. buying_score: 85 risk_level: Low.
