Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of proactive maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 32,172 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories in 2024 to a clean certificate suggests the current owner is taking steps to rectify mechanical wear rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-use expectations, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year over the five-year period. Since the November 2024 test at 26,445 miles, the car covered an additional 5,727 miles before the November 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seal integrity and preventing flat-spotting on tyres in electric vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and rear axle assembly. The 2024 record flagged both front and rear brake discs as being worn and noted that both rear tyres were reaching the 2mm legal limit. While the 2025 test shows these are now resolved, a physical check should verify the current thickness of the brake pads and check for uneven wear or caliper binding. Given the previous edge wear on the rear tyres, verifying the wheel alignment and inspecting suspension bushes is essential to ensure no underlying geometry issues are causing premature tyre degradation.
