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

The 2025‑10‑10 MOT at 35,596 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. All previous tests from November 2023 through October 2025 also showed no recorded defects, reinforcing consistent upkeep. The 35,596‑mile odometer reading at eight years of age translates to about 4,450 miles per year, a rate lower than average for a 2018 model and suggesting extended periods of limited use. Mileage accelerated between November 2023 (18,209 miles) and October 2024 (26,552 miles), a gain of 8,343 miles in 11 months, and again from October 2024 to October 2025 (35,596 miles), an increase of 9,044 miles in the same period, indicating intermittent high‑usage intervals. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and examine the exhaust system and chassis for structural rust, as these components are susceptible to deterioration despite the low overall mileage.
