Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle is in an exceptionally stable condition regarding its roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 54,491 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating a vehicle that is well-maintained and mechanically sound. The mileage is notably low for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 4,541 miles per year. The distance covered between 2 November 2023 at 38,309 miles and 5 December 2024 at 46,856 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 8,500 miles over thirteen months. The most recent interval from December 2024 to January 2026 shows a further increase to 54,491 miles, confirming the car remains in active use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The MOT record is unusually clean, with no recorded failures for mechanical defects, suspension wear, or structural corrosion across multiple tests. The failures noted on 2 November 2023 and 5 December 2024 were resolved on the same day, suggesting minor issues that were rectified immediately. There is no evidence of recurring faults or neglected maintenance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that can degrade regardless of low mileage. Check the condition of the tyre rubber for age-related cracking and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion. Given the low annual mileage, verifying the service history for regular oil changes is essential to ensure the engine has been protected from moisture buildup and sludge.
