Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026‑01‑16 MOT at 35,666 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently meets all legal requirements and indicates a stable maintenance trend after the earlier 2025‑01‑15 pass at 27,964 miles. Mileage has risen steadily from 6,825 miles in the June 2021 test to 35,666 miles in the January 2026 test, a gain of roughly 28,841 miles over eight years, or about 3,600 miles per year; the only notable irregularities are the consecutive tests on 2024‑01‑17 and 2024‑01‑19 (1 mile apart) and the same‑day pass/fail on 2023‑01‑16, both of which reflect remedial work rather than prolonged inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear tyres for the previously recorded deep cuts and current tread depth, examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for wear or binding, and check the undertray and surrounding structure for corrosion; the recent defect‑free MOT suggests that prior tyre and registration plate issues have been corrected, but a physical assessment of these components remains essential.
