AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on July 18, 2025, 74,333 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable but reveals a recurring lapse in consumable management. While the July 2025 test initially failed due to both nearside and offside rear tyres being below the legal 1.6mm depth limit, the immediate pass indicates the owner addressed these issues prior to the reinspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for this age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between June 2022 at 53,529 miles and July 2025 at 74,333 miles, the car covered roughly 21,000 miles, suggesting regular annual use. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber-based suspension components and fluid seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension geometry and alignment, as the 2024 and 2025 records both noted rear tyres being worn on the edge. This pattern often points to worn control arm bushes or incorrect camber settings which cause premature tyre degradation. Physical inspection of the rear brake calipers for uneven wear and the exhaust system is also advisable, though the record does not flag any structural corrosion or mechanical failures to date.
