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

The vehicle currently holds a pass at 146,200 miles on 2026-06-18, indicating that recent MOT testing has been stable and consistent with the vehicle's age. This recent passing test was conducted on 2022-01-27, which is only 5 months prior to the current date, suggesting that the most recent inspection was likely taken within the last year or two. The overall maintenance trend appears to be stable, with no evidence of an accelerating pattern of failure, though the recent test date is only a few months away, meaning the vehicle's condition is not yet fully reflected in the 2026-06-18 result. Mileage accumulation across the 14-year history indicates that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on consumables and components, particularly in the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test on 2022-01-27 was taken at 146,200 miles, which is approximately 10,443 miles per year. This pace is typical for a 2012 model but suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained at the same frequency as it would be if it were only 10 years old. The rapid mileage accumulation over the past 14 years implies that the owner has likely maintained the vehicle at a high rate of use, leading to a high cumulative wear rate on critical components such as brake discs, suspension bushings, and wheel bearings. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to identify recurring faults in the suspension and braking systems, which are the most significant structural risks. The MOT history reveals multiple instances of brake pipe corrosion, particularly in the nearside and offside positions, with the most recent test on 2022-01-27 showing a pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material. This corrosion has persisted across multiple years, and the most recent test on 2022-01-27 was taken at 146,200 miles, which is only 5 months prior to the current date. The vehicle has also suffered from excessive corrosion on the brake pipes and wheel bearings, with the most recent test on 2022-01-25 showing an excessively corroded brake pipe that has been covered in grease. The most recent MOT test on 2026-06-18 was taken at 146,200 miles, which is only 5 months prior to the current date, suggesting that the most recent inspection was likely taken within the last year or two. The vehicle has also experienced wheel bearing wear, with the most recent test on 2022-01-25 showing an excessively worn ball joint in the front upper suspension. The vehicle has also suffered from wheel bearing wear, with the most recent test on 2022-01-25 showing an excessively worn ball joint in the front upper suspension.
