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 road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 30 April 2025 at 109,882 miles. The record shows a single failure on the same date but no defects were logged, suggesting the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. Across the five tests the status has remained consistently passable, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 85,757 miles in January 2023 to 109,882 miles by April 2025, an increase of 24,125 miles over 28 months. The jump from 86,706 miles (May 2023) to 92,984 miles (April 2024) reflects a modest 6,278‑mile gain, while the subsequent rise to 109,882 miles (April 2025) adds 16,898 miles in a single year, pointing to a noticeable acceleration in usage. No gaps in testing are evident; the vehicle has been MOT‑tested roughly annually, and the records contain no recorded defects. A prospective buyer should focus on components that experience wear with higher mileage. Inspect the suspension for worn bushes or degraded coil springs, as increased kilometres can accelerate fatigue. Examine brake discs and pads for thinning or scoring, and verify that calipers move freely without binding. Check tyre tread depth and uniformity, ensuring no premature wear that might indicate alignment issues. A visual survey for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and exhaust system will confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains intact despite the recent mileage surge. Overall, the MOT history shows no recurring faults, but the recent mileage increase warrants a thorough in‑person check of wear‑prone systems before finalising purchase.
