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 presents as mechanically sound following a clean pass at 4,350 miles on 17 November 2025. The maintenance trend is currently stable and improving. A failed test on 11 November 2025, just six days prior, flagged three minor defects, all of which were evidently rectified before the successful retest. There are no structural, suspension, or braking advisories recorded in either the 2024 or 2025 entries. The record shows no recurring faults and no evidence of unresolved corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or drivetrain deterioration. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2021 vehicle. The 814-mile jump between the October 2024 test at 3,536 miles and the November 2025 tests at 4,338 to 4,350 miles indicates very light annual use of roughly 800 to 870 miles. Such low mileage typically limits wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes, though prolonged periods of standing can cause flat-spotting on tyres and moisture-related corrosion in brake components or exhaust systems. The record is sparse but clean, with no gaps or anomalies in the test cycle. Buyers should focus their in-person inspection on components that degrade with age and infrequent use rather than mileage. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking and the tread for uneven wear or flat-spotting. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion, a common issue on lightly used electric vehicles where regenerative braking reduces mechanical braking frequency. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and verify the windscreen wiper motor and linkage operation given the offside wiper defect noted in the November 2025 failure. A brief road test should confirm smooth brake operation without drag or binding and correct headlamp alignment.
