Mechanical Assessment

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 on 8 January 2026 at 74,162 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 8 January 2025 and 3 January 2024 also passed without any recorded faults. This sequence shows a stable condition with no deterioration in mechanical or structural items over the last two years. Mileage has risen steadily from 46,810 miles in January 2023 to the current 74,162 miles, averaging roughly 7,400 miles per year. There are no unexplained gaps or sudden jumps; the increments align with regular use. The consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has been driven rather than left standing for extended periods. The only recurring note in the history concerns the windscreen washer, which failed on 9 January 2023 due to non‑operation but was repaired and cleared on the same day. An advisory for nearside windscreen damage appeared at the same mileage, noted as not obstructing the driver’s view. A prospective buyer should verify that the washer jets deliver fluid evenly, check the windscreen for any new chips or cracks, and inspect the surrounding seal for signs of corrosion or water ingress.
