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 roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 15 May 2026 at 89,084 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to consumable wear rather than proactive preventative care. While the car passed without failures, the recurring presence of advisories related to tyres and brake components suggests that the previous owners tended to address these issues only when they approach legal limits or are flagged by the tester during the annual inspection. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 68,012 miles and the 2026 test at 89,084 miles, the car covered 21,072 miles, showing a steady pattern of use. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of തന്നെ, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber seals and fluid components, though the consistent mileage places standard wear on mileage-related parts. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a history of pitted and scored rear discs starting in 2022, followed by thin pads and worn discs in 2025. Given that the 2026 test did not mention these again, it is vital to verify if the rear brakes were actually replaced. The history also highlights a pattern of uneven tyre wear, with the 2022 and 2026 tests flagging tyres worn on the edges or near the legal limit. This often points to an underlying alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be professionally checked to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
