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

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 46,712 miles with several advisories. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, with an increasing number of faults flagged over the past few years. This is concerning, as the vehicle is now 8 years old and has accumulated relatively low mileage, which may indicate lighter use or long periods of standing. The mileage pattern suggests a relatively low annual mileage of around 5,839 miles per year, which is lower than average for its age. There are no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation in the record. The vehicle has been serviced regularly, with MOT tests spaced approximately every 12-18 months. However, the sparse data does not provide a comprehensive picture of the vehicle's maintenance history. The vehicle's MOT history reveals several recurring faults, including worn front brake discs, thinning rear brake pads, and worn front tyres. The testers have also flagged issues with the suspension, including the rear passenger seat being missing at every test. Furthermore, the vehicle has shown signs of wear on the rear tyres, including cuts and imbalanced braking requirements. It is essential for a buyer to inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the brake discs, brake pads, and tyres. They should also check the structural integrity of the vehicle, including the suspension and steering components, and look for any signs of rust or corrosion. A buyer should also be aware that the vehicle's rear passenger seat has been missing at every test, which may indicate a lack of basic upkeep. It is crucial to inspect the vehicle thoroughly to determine the extent of any wear and tear and to assess the overall condition of the vehicle.
