Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026-06-18 date establishes that the MOTs are relatively recent, with the most recent entry being passed on 2025-06-24 at 82,076 miles. This indicates a maintenance trend of stability or slight improvement over the past two years, as the vehicle has not suffered a catastrophic failure in the last two years. The vehicle is currently in good standing for road use, provided the mechanical components remain intact. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data suggests a relatively clean accumulation of recorded miles. The gap between the most recent test and the earliest PASSED entry (2025-01-30) is only 11,000 miles, which is consistent with a low-mileage vehicle. While the vehicle is approximately 20 years old, the mileage does not show the rapid wear typical of high-mileage assets, suggesting that the mechanical wear may be limited to consumables rather than structural failure. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for recurring faults and structural risks. The MOT record reveals critical issues, including corrosion of rear brake back plates and excessive wear on the nearside front outer drive shaft joint boot. These defects are not minor consumables but represent significant mechanical risks that must be addressed before the car is put into service.
