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

The 14 June 2024 MOT at 41,816 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest official test and that the maintenance trend has been stable. Mileage has risen steadily from 20,571 miles in August 2021 to 26,331 miles by 21 June 2022, then to 34,449 miles on 17 June 2023 and finally to 41,816 miles on 14 June 2024, a rise of roughly 4,182 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s age of ten years and indicates consistent use without long standing periods. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the rear subframe where corrosion often initiates. The low annual mileage suggests the car may have spent extended intervals idle, so a thorough check of fluid condition, tyre tread depth, and the condition of the exhaust system is advisable before purchase.
