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

The 2003 Volkswagen Bora is currently road‑worthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 December 2025 at 165,716 miles with no recorded defects. The succession of four consecutive passes – 2024‑01‑29, 2022‑11‑25 and 2021‑11‑11 – shows a stable maintenance trend, with no deterioration evident in the official test records. Across a 23‑year lifespan the vehicle has accumulated 165,716 miles, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per year. The mileage increments between tests are modest: 1,819 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, 2,207 miles between 2022 and 2024, and 1,044 miles between 2021 and 2022. No large gaps or spikes appear, suggesting consistent, moderate use rather than periods of neglect or intense short‑term mileage buildup. Although the MOT data reveal no recurring faults, a prospective buyer should still examine wear items and structural condition in person. Verify tyre tread depth and uniformity, inspect brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and check suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for signs of corrosion or fatigue. A visual survey of the chassis for rust, particularly around wheel arches and undercarriage, will confirm that the absence of MOT advisories reflects genuine condition rather than missed issues.
