Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2025‑11‑28 MOT at 52,300 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle’s current roadworthiness is satisfactory and that the maintenance record has remained stable since the previous test in June 2021. No advisory notes or failures were logged, indicating that any wear observed in earlier tests has not manifested as a failure in the most recent inspection. The mileage trajectory shows a low average of roughly 4,000 miles per year over the 13‑year life of the 2013 model, but the pattern is uneven. Rapid accumulation occurred between 2016 and 2018, with the odometer rising from 27,837 miles in May 2016 to 47,104 miles in June 2018, a gain of nearly 19,300 miles in just over two years. Since the 2021 test at 51,884 miles, usage has been minimal, adding only 416 miles by the 2025 test, suggesting extended periods of standing. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the tyre condition, as all four tyres were noted as close to the legal limit in the 2016 test, and replace them if tread depth is insufficient. Attention must also be given to the suspension system – specifically the bushes and coil springs – and to the brake assembly, checking for binding calipers, worn discs and pad thickness, since these components can deteriorate without being captured in an MOT if not actively examined. Structural integrity should be assessed around the sills and undertrays where the under‑cover trays were fitted in 2017 and 2018, looking for corrosion or damage that could compromise the chassis, and the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive wear.
