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 test on 10 August 2022 at 103,354 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly that leaves the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed. Prior to that, the test history from 2019 through 2021 shows a stable pass pattern with no advisories logged, though the August 2021 entry shows both a fail and pass on the same day at 90,397 miles, again with no defects cited. The trend is neither clearly worsening nor improving; the record is too sparse and the final failure too unexplained to draw a firm mechanical conclusion. The odometer climbed from 68,733 miles in August 2019 to 103,354 miles by August 2022, averaging roughly 11,500 miles per year across that window against a lifetime average near 5,742 miles. The jump from 79,707 miles in August 2020 to 90,397 miles in August 2021 and then to 103,354 by August 2022 shows accelerated use in the final three years before the last test. No further entries exist beyond 2022, so the car has likely stood largely unused for nearly four years relative to today's date of 16 July 2026. A buyer must treat the unexplained 2022 failure as a red flag and obtain the physical failure notice or retest evidence before purchase. Given the low lifetime mileage and probable extended standing since 2022, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers should be inspected for perishing and seizure from inactivity. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion given the vehicle's 18-year age and the absence of any structural advisories in the record to confirm soundness.
