Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT from August 2025 resulted in a pass, although it noted wear on the offside front tyre, which was close to the legal limit on the inner edge. The overall history is very clean with no mechanical defects recorded across the last five years. The only recurring issues relate to the front tyres, including cuts noted in 2023 and the wear mentioned in 2025. The condition trend appears stable, as there are no worsening mechanical failures. However, the specific wear on the inner edge of the tyre may indicate an alignment problem. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 2,352 miles per year. This suggests the car has seen light use, but such low usage can sometimes lead to issues resulting from periods of standing. The most important checks for a buyer are to inspect the tyres carefully for uneven wear and to verify the wheel alignment. It is also advisable to check all rubber components for signs of degradation due to the very low mileage.
