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 in a passing roadworthiness state, as the most recent MOT test in June 2026 passed without defects. This indicates the maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring structural or mechanical issues identified in the current record, though the history reveals a clear pattern of intermittent failures. The mileage accumulation is significant, averaging approximately 7,386 miles per year, which suggests the owner has maintained a relatively light usage profile over the past few years, though the 2023 test indicates this pattern may have shifted slightly. The test dates show a distinct gap between the 2025 and 2024 assessments, suggesting that while the vehicle has been driven, it has not experienced the severe wear associated with high mileage accumulation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and wear in the suspension and brakes, particularly focusing on the 2023 test where an offside headlamp aim was flagged. While the 2022 test reported worn brake discs, the absence of serious weakening indicates the system is still structurally sound for current use, provided the owner maintains the 2025 and 2024 records to avoid future failures.
