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 roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 16 December 2025 at 18,253 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a specific mechanical failure just four days prior to that pass. The failure on 12 December 2025 revealed fractured rear coil springs on both the nearside and offside sides, but the subsequent pass without further defects indicates the owner addressed these suspension issues promptly to meet legal safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,282 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage intervals, such as the only 814 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, and a mere 448 miles in the following year. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid oxidation compared to higher-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension to ensure the recently replaced coil springs are fitted correctly and show no signs of premature. The 2022 test flagged front tyres worn to the legal limit, which indicates a previous alignment issue or uneven wear pattern that should be verified now. Given the low usage frequency, the inspector must also check for brake disc corrosion or surface pitting, as these components often suffer when on vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
