AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT in August 2025 passed with the vehicle recorded at 102,811 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor issues being noted, specifically concerning the front brake disc condition in the 2024 history. The trend in the recorded history does not clearly show a worsening condition, as the most recent result was a pass, though previous entries noted wear on the brake disc. With 102,811 miles on a 2012 model, the mileage is consistent with typical usage for this age, suggesting normal wear on consumables and components. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the front brake discs for any signs of excessive wear or scoring, as this was flagged previously. Secondly, check the condition of the lights mentioned in the failed MOT from July 2024, specifically the offside front position lamp and the rear registration plate lamp, to ensure they are functioning correctly. Finally, given the history, a detailed visual inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components is recommended.
