AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2025‑02‑06 MOT at 102,757 miles passed, yet the vehicle exhibits a maintenance trend that is neither improving nor stabilising, as recurring faults in suspension components, brake wear and structural rust have persisted across multiple tests. Mileage has risen from 46,097 miles in 2016 to 102,757 miles in 2025, a gain of roughly 56,660 miles over nine years, or about 6,300 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 2009 model and shows no major gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore examine the near‑side front suspension arm pin and bush, which have been flagged as worn in 2020, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and the corroded rear coil springs that have appeared in every test since 2023, as well as the thin near‑side front brake pads, the tyres worn close to the legal limit, the parking brake efficiency shortfall, and the deteriorated headlamp lenses and exhaust components. The buyer should also examine the structural integrity of the chassis for any hidden rust, verify the condition of the front and rear brake discs, and assess the overall health of the suspension bushes and coil springs, since these items have shown consistent wear and corrosion throughout the vehicle’s history.
