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

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 27,523 miles. The tester flagged the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit, but no other defects were recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend with only consumable wear emerging. Mileage averages roughly 3,440 miles per year, well below typical usage for a 2018 model. The record shows a steady increase: from 10,132 miles on 8 March 2022 to 12,285 miles on 28 December 2022, then to 16,678 miles on 29 November 2023, 22,667 miles on 2 December 2024, and finally 27,523 miles on 15 December 2025. No large spikes or prolonged gaps appear, suggesting consistent, moderate use rather than periods of neglect or heavy mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyres for tread depth, wear pattern and age, confirming that replacement is imminent. While the MOT history shows no recurring suspension or brake issues, a visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and pads is prudent given the vehicle’s age. Finally, a walk‑around for surface corrosion, exhaust integrity and structural soundness will verify that the low‑mileage car has been kept free of hidden deterioration.
