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 demonstrates a stable and reliable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT pass on 6 May 2026 at 57,215 miles. Achieving a clean pass with no recorded defects suggests the current owner maintains the vehicle to a high standard. The history is largely exemplary, showing consistent compliance with annual testing requirements and a lack of recurring mechanical or structural issues. The recorded mileage of 57,215 over six years averages approximately 9,536 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a premium SUV. The progression of mileage is linear and consistent across all test dates, indicating the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This steady accumulation of miles is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may suffer from seized components or degraded seals due to inactivity. The single failure recorded on 12 May 2025 at 48,803 miles for an exposed ply on the nearside front tyre represents a standard consumable issue rather than an underlying mechanical defect. Because this was rectified immediately before the subsequent pass on the same day, it highlights a responsive approach to maintenance. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the current condition of the tyres, brake discs, and pads, as these components now face the wear associated with the 8,412 miles covered since the last test. Checking the suspension bushes and checking for any signs of oil leaks around the drivetrain remains prudent, though the clean history suggests no systemic failures have occurred to date.
