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 is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 July 2025 at 137,749 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 16 June 2025 at 137,736 miles, though the record provides no specific defect data for that failure, suggesting the issues were rectified quickly. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered roughly 9,839 miles per year over its fourteen-year lifespan. The distance between the February 2024 test at 130,210 miles and the July 2025 test at 137,749 miles shows a steady usage rate of approximately 7,500 miles over seventeen months. There are no erratic jumps or periods of prolonged standing that would suggest hidden deterioration. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread have appeared since February 2022. While the lack of recorded faults is positive, a buyer should still manually inspect the underbody for structural corrosion and check the condition of the coil springs, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged in a basic test. Attention should be paid to the drivetrain and consumables given the 137,749 total miles. The absence of recorded brake or suspension work in the last three years suggests these components may be nearing the end of their service life. A physical check of the brake pads and fluid levels is recommended to ensure the vehicle has been maintained beyond the minimum legal requirements.
