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 passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 53,071 miles with only a minor advisory on the offside front tyre, indicating it remains roadworthy and well-maintained. This follows a generally stable maintenance trend, despite a prior failure in February 2025 due to a defective nearside rear tyre. The absence of recorded defects in three out of four tests, including the latest one, suggests consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical issues over time. With 53,071 miles recorded over approximately five years, the car averages about 10,614 miles annually, which aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Mileage accumulation is steady and linear, with no significant gaps or sudden jumps between tests—consistent with regular but not excessive use. The pattern indicates neither prolonged inactivity nor unusually heavy driving, supporting a balanced wear profile across major components. Although tyre-related issues have appeared twice—once as a failure and once as an advisory—a buyer should inspect all tyres thoroughly for uneven wear, ageing, or damage, particularly given the edge wear noted on the front offside. The repeated concerns point to potential alignment, suspension geometry, or inflation problems that may need addressing. While no structural corrosion, brake defects, or drivetrain faults were reported, a physical inspection should still verify suspension bush condition, brake pad and disc wear, and overall electrical system integrity, especially considering the hybrid nature of the T5 Recharge powertrain.
