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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in April 2026 with 121,487 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a significant failure in April 2023. While the most recent test is clean, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive replacement, as the owner appears to have addressed specific faults only once they reached a point of failure or were flagged as persistent advisories. At 121,487 miles over 19 years, the car averages approximately 6,400 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage. There was a notable spike in usage of nearly 17,000 miles between April 2024 and May 2025, followed by another 17,000 miles in the final year. This recent acceleration suggests the vehicle is currently being used more frequently, which increases the stress on rubber components and suspension bushings that are prone to fatigue on vehicles of this age. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension and braking system due to recurring issues. The nearside front brake hose showed deterioration across three consecutive tests starting in 2023, and the offside hose failed a test in that same year. Furthermore, the front suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in 2024. A buyer should check for further cracking in these rubber components and ensure the brake hoses have been fully replaced rather than merely cleaned, as these are common points of mechanical failure on this chassis. The 2023 failure for a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber and high exhaust emissions indicates that engine and damping components require attention. While these were rectified, the advisory for perishing tyres in 2025 suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods despite the low annual mileage. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for dry cracking and verify the headlamp alignment to ensure the previous failures regarding the leveling device and aim have been permanently resolved.
