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

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a concerning downward trend, culminating in a significant failure during the May 2023 test at 93,312 miles. While the car maintained a relatively clean record between 2014 and 2017, the recent history indicates a breakdown in basic maintenance. The 2023 failure was extensive, involving critical steering system issues, including a leaking power steering pump and a non-functional electronic power steering unit, alongside significant brake disc wear and lighting defects. This represents a sharp decline from the stable passing records seen in previous years. The mileage profile suggests low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,443 miles per year over its 21-year lifespan. A gap in recorded data appears after the May 2023 test, which was conducted at 93,312 miles. Given that today is July 2026, the vehicle has no recorded MOT history for over three years. This lack of recent testing, combined with the low mileage, suggests the car may have been stationary for an extended period, which often leads to component degradation such as perished rubber seals and seized braking components. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the steering and braking systems. The May 2023 failure highlighted serious issues with the power steering pump and front brake discs that require verification of recent repair. Recurring issues with tyres, including multiple instances of worn edges and perishing sidewalls between 2018 and 2023, suggest a pattern of neglecting consumable maintenance. The tester also flagged a non-speed restricted tyre in the most recent test, which indicates a potential lack of attention to correct part specifications. The suspension and electrical systems also require scrutiny. The 2022 test identified play in an offside front suspension arm ball joint, and the 2023 test noted several lighting failures and defective headlamp lenses. Because the vehicle has not been tested since 2023, any repairs claimed to have addressed the power steering or brake issues must be physically verified. The history of oil leaks and low oil levels, specifically noted in 2017 and 2020, warrants a close inspection of the engine for ongoing seepage or consumption.
