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, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 92,771 miles passed, though it introduced the first recorded defects regarding the nearside and offside front tyres. This marks a shift from the previous four annual tests between 2022 and 2025, where no mechanical or structural advisories were noted. The mileage pattern is consistent and predictable, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage levels for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. Between May 2022 and April 2026, the car covered 24,359 miles, maintaining a steady accumulation of roughly 6,000 miles annually between each MOT test cycle. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals in cars of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front end, as the April 2026 advisory for tyres worn on the edge often indicates a need for alignment or suggests worn suspension bushes and control arms. While the history is clean of structural rust or brake failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check for corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system. Given the lack of recorded defects in previous years, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but the recent tyre wear requires immediate attention to prevent uneven wear across the drivetrain.
