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

The 2026-06-18 date presents a clear gap between the last verified MOT and the current date, indicating a lack of recent maintenance history. The most recent test was conducted in November 2025, falling short of the current date by approximately three months, which suggests the vehicle has not been serviced in the last three years. The mileage trend is heavily skewed by the absence of recent data points. The vehicle has maintained roughly 99,000 miles over the last three years, averaging approximately 33,000 miles annually. This accumulation rate is significantly higher than the typical 6,583 miles per year for a 15-year-old car, implying that the vehicle has not been driven for the full duration of its life. The lack of data points in the 2023 and 2022 test entries suggests that the mileage has likely increased rapidly since the last recorded value, potentially due to increased usage or wear on consumables. Based on the specific faults recorded, the inspection must focus on the suspension and braking systems rather than merely checking tyre wear. The history reveals recurring issues with the rear sub-frame, suspension arms, and brake discs, with the most recent test showing pitted or scored brake discs. While the 2025 test noted that the brakes were not seriously weakened, the 2024 and 2023 tests indicate that binding calipers and brake discs have been worn near the legal limit. This pattern of structural corrosion and binding caliper wear suggests a significant risk of future failure, particularly with the rear sub-frame and suspension arms.
