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, following a clean pass on May 11, 2026. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the car transitioned from multiple failures in previous years to a result with no recorded defects in the latest inspection. Previous issues were primarily related to peripheral components and inspection obstructions rather than mechanical or structural failure, suggesting the core systems of the vehicle remain in stable condition. The mileage data indicates a low-mileage profile for a 2018 model. The vehicle recorded 28,326 miles in May 2024 and 32,543 miles in May 2025, representing an average annual run of approximately 4,200 miles. This usage is significantly below the national average, which typically implies less wear on heavy components like the suspension and brake system, though it does also mean potential degradation of rubber components. A buyer should verify the windscreen wiper assembly, as both blades failed the May 2024 test for failing to clear the glass effectively. The headlamp alignment should also be checked to ensure it meets regulatory standards, given the tester flagged the aim as being too low in 2025. The recurring issue regarding the rear child seat obstructing the adult belt inspection is a procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should ensure all seat belt mechanisms are functional and free of debris during a physical inspection.
