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

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 25 September 2025 at 100,661 miles with no recorded defects. The sequence of annual tests shows a stable maintenance pattern, with the only anomaly being a recorded failure on 12 September 2023 that was subsequently cleared on the same day, indicating a prompt remedial action and no lingering issue. Mileage has risen from 89,589 miles in September 2022 to 100,661 miles in September 2025, an average increase of roughly 3,700 miles per year during the last three cycles. Over the 15‑year lifespan this equates to about 6,700 miles annually, a figure typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests no period of excessive use or prolonged inactivity. The MOT entries are evenly spaced, providing a clear, uninterrupted record. A prospective buyer should verify tyre tread depth and condition, as wear is not reflected in the MOT data. Inspect suspension components, particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs, for any signs of fatigue or corrosion that might not have triggered a formal advisory. Examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear, ensuring the binding rear brakes noted in the 2023 failure have been fully addressed. A visual check for rust around wheel arches and undercarriage will confirm the absence of structural corrosion. Confirm that the vehicle’s service book aligns with the MOT mileage increments, reinforcing the consistency observed in the official record.
