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 roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 1 September 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a recorded failure on that same day at 10,969 miles indicated immediate attention was required. The tester flagged a defective nearsside rear tyre with a cut reaching the cords and a bulge alongside misalignment of both front headlamps. These issues were rectified promptly, as the vehicle passed the re-test with no further defects recorded. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, with only 10,970 miles recorded. This averages to approximately 1,828 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 9,333 miles and the October 2024 test at 10,399 miles, the car covered only 1,066 miles in a full year. Such infrequent usage suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which can occasionally lead to flat-spotting, seized calipers, or fluid degradation despite the lack of mileage. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearsside rear tyre to ensure the replacement was of adequate quality and that no structural damage remains. Given the low usage, verify that the brake discs are free of heavy corrosion and that the calipers move freely without binding. The record shows no history of structural issues or mechanical failures, so the focus should remain on checking for component aging consistent with a low-mileage, older vehicle.
