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 is currently road‑worthy. The most recent MOT on 12 December 2025 at 70,773 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable condition. Mileage averages roughly 3,370 miles per year, a figure that points to limited use or extended storage. The record shows a gap of about three years between the September 2021 test at 61,202 miles and the November 2024 test at 65,173 miles, after which the odometer rose only one mile by December 2024 before climbing to 70,773 miles a year later. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust that can develop when a car sits unused. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the MOT history, but the low mileage means that consumables such as brake pads and suspension components may have aged without sufficient use, so a physical inspection remains essential.
