Mechanical Assessment

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

The MOT history for this vehicle is limited, with the most recent recorded entry being from December 2021. Given the current date, this information is not recent. The vehicle has covered 20,697 miles over approximately eight years, which is very low for its age. This averages roughly 2,587 miles per year. This low mileage may imply lighter use or that the vehicle has spent long periods standing, which can affect components differently than a vehicle with higher mileage. A recurring pattern is evident regarding the front tyres. In June 2021, both the nearside and offside front tyres were advised as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This exact issue was repeated in the December 2021 MOT. This suggests that the tyres were not replaced following the initial advisory, or that there is an underlying issue with the wheel alignment causing the edges to wear. The trend for this specific issue is stable, as the same fault was noted in both recorded entries, but it shows that previous maintenance advisories were not addressed.
