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 on 2025-08-03 showed a pass at 73,187 miles, with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 2025-07-18 at 72,858 miles, which also listed no defects. The gap between these two tests was just 329 miles, suggesting the failure may have been a minor technicality or a temporary issue resolved before the retest. Prior MOTs from 2024 to 2022 show consistent passes with no defects, indicating a generally reliable history. The vehicle’s mileage of 73,187 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 7,319 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for its age. This suggests neither extreme wear nor prolonged under-use. However, the failure in 2025-07-18—despite no defects being recorded—raises questions about potential underlying issues that may not have been flagged during the test. The lack of defects in subsequent tests implies the problem was likely resolved, but the pattern of a failure followed by a pass without recorded issues is unusual. The overall trend appears stable , with no recurring or escalating defects. The absence of recorded faults in the majority of MOTs indicates the vehicle has maintained acceptable condition.
