Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests without recorded defects in the most recent two years. The April 2025 test at 62,563 miles resulted in a pass with no advisories or defects. This follows a pass in April 2024, which occurred immediately after a failure on the same day, 11 April 2024. The lack of recorded defects in the 2025 and 2024 passes suggests that any mechanical issues identified during the previous failure were rectified. The recorded mileage of 62,563 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 6,256 miles per year. This represents relatively low annual usage for a 2016 vehicle. The MOT records provide a consistent annual testing pattern from June 2022 through to April 2025, indicating regular inspections. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of non-use or neglected compliance. A physical inspection should focus on components that typically wear during low-mileage, intermittent use, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. While the recent records are clean, the failure in April 2024 warrants a check to ensure the underlying cause was fully addressed. A buyer should also examine the tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables often show wear even when mileage remains low. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for any signs of corrosion on the underside or exhaust system is a prudent step. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.
