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 stands at 100,873 miles, placing it firmly in the 2016 range. The most recent MOT test on 2025-09-09 yielded a pass at 100,873 miles, indicating that the vehicle's mechanical condition has remained stable and has not deteriorated since the last inspection. This stability is confirmed by the absence of new faults in the September 2025 record, which contrasts with the earlier records. The mileage profile suggests a period of relatively low consumption, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation of miles that would indicate accelerated wear. While the vehicle has passed a MOT in 2024, the 2024-10-23 test at 91,568 miles shows no new defects, suggesting the wear pattern has been consistent over the past two years. The 2024-10-17 record at 91,562 miles confirms that no new issues arose immediately following the earlier pass, reinforcing the stability of the current mechanical state. Given the consistent history and the absence of new faults, the vehicle is likely to remain roadworthy for the foreseeable future. However, the history reveals specific areas requiring inspection. The most recent test on 2025-09-09 flagged binding on the rear service brake, which could indicate a potential wear pattern in the brake lining or a lack of proper lubrication. The 2023-07-18 record also flagged a fractured or broken coil spring and a malfunctioning TPMS, suggesting that structural components or systems that require regular replacement may need attention. A buyer should inspect the rear brake pads and linings, the coil spring condition, and the TPMS to assess whether these recurring faults represent a trend of ongoing wear or a single instance of failure.
