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, though the maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in May 2025 at 35,429 miles passed with only an advisory for a cut on the offside front tyre. This represents a stable trend compared to the previous year's failure, where the vehicle was flagged for minor electrical and visibility issues that were subsequently rectified. At six years old with 35,429 miles, the car has averaged approximately 5,900 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a modern electric vehicle. This low usage suggests less strain on the high-voltage drivetrain and suspension components. However, the gap between June 2023 and May 2024 shows an accumulation of 8,222 miles, notably higher than the annual average. Such periods of lower mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion on brake discs, though no mechanical failures were noted in the record. A physical inspection should focus on the electrical system and consumables, as the history highlights recurring issues with headlamp bulbs, position lamps, and wiper blades. The failure in 2023 regarding the nearside dipped beam and the 2024 failure regarding headlamp aim suggest the auxiliary wiring or housing may require close attention. Given the offside front tyre advisory in the 2025 test for a cut, the buyer should check the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot if left stationary.
