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, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 47 887 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a failure just three days earlier on 29 May 2026 at 47 884 miles, where front and rear brake pads were below the 1.5 mm threshold and both front and rear discs showed wear, pitting and scoring. The rapid correction of those brake issues indicates an improving maintenance trend, moving from a failure to a clean pass within a week. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 8 000 miles per year. The record shows a gap of about 1.5 years between the August 2023 test (23 048 miles) and the June 2025 test (35 357 miles), then another similar interval to the June 2026 test (47 887 miles). No sudden mileage jumps are evident, and the data set is relatively complete, suggesting consistent usage rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the braking system closely, checking pad thickness on all four wheels and the condition of both front and rear discs for scoring or pitting. The rear tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit in August 2023, so tread depth on those tyres should be verified. Additionally, a visual check for corrosion or rust on the chassis and suspension mounting points is advisable given the vehicle’s age and the previous brake wear pattern.
