Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT in December 2025 at 42,044 miles shows a pass, but the tester flagged two defects: a TPMS lamp indicating low tyre pressure and a defective front windscreen wiper. This suggests a generally stable roadworthiness trend, though the minor electrical and wiper issues hint at potential periods of inactivity or deferred basic upkeep. The only outright failure in the history occurred in April 2021 at 37,673 miles for a tyre bulge, which was rectified for a pass the following day. The recorded mileage pattern is unusually sparse. The vehicle covered just 136 miles between December 2022 (41,908 miles) and December 2025, indicating extended standing. The annual average of roughly 4,672 miles is light, but the three-year gap with negligible use raises concerns about mechanical seals drying out, battery drain, and brake corrosion. The earlier period from April 2021 to February 2022 shows a more typical accumulation of about 2,169 miles, suggesting the car was used more regularly before falling into low-use storage. Given the history and low recent mileage, a buyer should closely inspect the condition of all four tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, and verify the TPMS system functions correctly. The brake discs and calipers may show pitting or sticking from infrequent use, and the battery should be load-tested. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for perishing, which can occur with age even on a low-mileage car.
