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

The 2025‑11‑07 MOT at 149,990 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The same‑day test at 149,989 miles also showed no faults, reinforcing that the vehicle’s condition remains unchanged. The mileage trajectory over the past four years shows a marked increase: from 93,811 miles in November 2022 to 149,990 miles in November 2025, an accumulation of roughly 56,179 miles in 36 months, or about 15,600 miles per year, well above the average for an 11‑year‑old 2015 model. Each annual test has been performed without long gaps, suggesting continuous use rather than extended periods of standing. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring, and look for structural rust in the wheel arches and underbody, as high annual mileage accelerates such component fatigue. Additionally, the condition of the exhaust system and overall structural integrity should be verified in person.
