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 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 34,960 miles. The prior 2024 test at 23,385 miles also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No advisories or failures were noted across the two tests, suggesting the car has been well-maintained within the observed period. The mileage progression shows a 11,575-mile increase over 12 months between the 2024 and 2025 tests, aligning with the vehicle’s average annual usage of ~6,992 miles. This suggests regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity, though the sparse MOT history limits insight into earlier maintenance patterns. No rapid wear indicators, such as excessive brake disc thinning or suspension component failure, are evident from the recorded data. A buyer should verify the condition of the hybrid battery and associated electrical systems, as these are critical to the vehicle’s powertrain. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter, and check the AWD drivetrain for unusual noises or vibrations. While the MOT records show no structural rust or suspension issues, a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the integrity of coil springs and bushings, which can degrade over time without triggering MOT failures.
