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 with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 79,352 miles with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a failure two days prior, though the record provides no specific defect data for that failed attempt. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,613 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between July 2022 and July 2023, where the odometer rose from 62,412 to 71,441 miles. Since then, the vehicle has covered 7,911 miles over the last two and a half years, suggesting a slight decrease in annual utility. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding recorded defects. Every passed test since July 2022 has been achieved without a single advisory for consumable wear, such as tyre tread or brake pad thickness. While this suggests a well-maintained car, it is atypical for a twelve-year-old vehicle to show zero advisories across multiple tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT record does not highlight. Check for suspension bush perishing and signs of corrosion on the underbody, as these often develop regardless of a clean test sheet. Verify the service history for oil changes and transmission fluid flushes to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean DVSA record.
