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 clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 67,314 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows two failures on the same day as the passes in September 2023 and September 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly during the test. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 4,207 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2025, the odometer moved from 65,284 to 67,314 miles, confirming a consistent pattern of light use. This low annual accumulation reduces the expected wear on the drivetrain and engine internals. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage, specifically rubber perishables and structural corrosion. Vehicles that spend long periods standing often suffer from seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and cracked tyre sidewalls. Although the MOT records show no current advisories, the age of the car makes it prone to chassis rust, particularly around the sills and rear suspension mounting points. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the date codes on the tyres. Given the low usage, the oil and other fluids may have degraded due to time rather than distance. A physical inspection of the underbody is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked a lack of preventative maintenance or exposure to damp storage conditions.
