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 currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT result. The most recent test on 09 January 2025 at 72,467 miles showed no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems met the required standard. This represents a significant improvement compared to late 2023, where the vehicle failed two consecutive tests before passing, suggesting the previous owner proactively addressed and rectified identified issues to maintain compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used urban city car, averaging approximately 7,247 miles per year over its ten-year life. This relatively low-to-moderate usage profile typically results in less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. The data shows a period of activity between August 2023 and December 2023, where the car covered 2,769 miles in just four months, followed by a more standard interval of 17,583 miles leading into the January 2025 test. While the recent history is clean, the double failure in August 2023 at 52,115 miles and December 2023 at 54,882 miles indicate that the vehicle was prone to specific faults that required immediate attention. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake components, as these are common points of failure on this model at this mileage. Given the time gap since the last MOT of eighteen months, checking for signs of corrosion on the exhaust or seized brake calipers is essential to ensure no new degradation has developed since the last official check.
