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

A history of consistent roadworthiness is interrupted only by a single failure in October 2023, where both the offside and nearside front coil springs were recorded as fractured or broken. This specific failure was rectified immediately, leading to a clean pass on 13 October 2023 and subsequent defect-free results in 2024 and 2025. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 confirms a current absence of flagged defects. The recorded mileage of 75,343 miles over an eleven year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,849 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a balanced distribution of wear across the drivetrain and chassis components. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or abrupt spikes in mileage that would indicate prolonged periods of dormancy or sudden heavy commercial use. Inspection should focus on the front suspension system due to the previous failure of both front coil springs. During a test drive, listen for any metallic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, which could indicate issues with the replacement springs or the associated suspension mounts. It is also important to ensure the vehicle maintains a level stance and does not exhibit an unusual pull to either side, confirming that the suspension geometry remains correct following the 2023 repairs.
