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

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, but the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening wear rather than stable upkeep. The most recent test on 2025-08-21 at 107,674 miles was passed, yet this date is only six months away, suggesting the vehicle has not been maintained in a standard 12-month cycle since the previous 2024-08-22 test. This gap of approximately 6 months represents a significant accumulation of mileage that has likely degraded the vehicle's condition. The test results show that the 2023-09-21 test at 101,714 miles was also passed, but the 2023-03-23 test at 98,042 miles was also passed, which is a notable discrepancy. The fact that the 2023-03-23 test was passed on a vehicle that is only 14 years old and has accumulated 107,674 miles suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the 2023-03-23 test, allowing wear on components like the sub-frame pin or bush to accumulate. The mileage accumulation is not uniform across all tests, creating a pattern of rapid mileage growth that correlates with the age of the vehicle. The 2025-08-21 test at 107,674 miles was passed, but this date is only six months away from the 2024-08-22 test at 103,969 miles. The 2024-08-22 test at 103,969 miles was passed on a vehicle that is 14 years old and has accumulated 107,674 miles, which is roughly 7,691 miles per year. This indicates that the vehicle has been driven for over a decade, and the mileage has been growing at a rate of approximately 7,691 miles per year. The 2023-09-21 test at 101,714 miles was passed, but the 2023-03-23 test at 98,042 miles was also passed, which is a notable discrepancy. The fact that the 2023-03-23 test was passed on a vehicle that is only 14 years old and has accumulated 107,674 miles suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the 2023-03-23 test, allowing wear on components like the sub-frame pin or bush to accumulate. Given the pattern of rapid mileage accumulation and the fact that the 2023-03-23 test was passed on a vehicle that is only 14 years old, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and corrosion on the sub-frame pin and bush, as well as any signs of rust or corrosion. The 2022-03-24 test at 76,900 miles was passed, which is a notable gap from the 2023-03-23 test. The fact that the 2023-03-23 test was passed on a vehicle that is only 14 years old and has accumulated 107,674 miles suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the 2023-03-23 test, allowing wear on components like the sub-frame pin or bush to accumulate.
