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

The 2026-06-18 date indicates that the most recent MOT test was conducted on the 18th of June 2026, placing the vehicle at approximately 4,700 miles on the 2026-02-02 date. This establishes that the vehicle has been in service for over two years and has undergone two separate MOT checks, with the first failing test occurring on the 14th of January 2025. The progression from a failed 2025 test to a passing 2026 test suggests that the vehicle's mechanical condition has stabilized or improved since the most recent inspection, although the 2025 failure remains a significant indicator of potential wear. The mileage record shows a distinct gap between the 2025-01-14 test and the 2026-02-02 test, with the 2026-02-02 test occurring on a 147,620-mile count. This substantial mileage increase suggests that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on components such as suspension parts and brake discs since the 2025-01-14 test, which was conducted on a 144,583-mile count. While the 2026-02-02 test passed without defects, the gap between the 2025-01-14 and 2026-02-02 dates implies that the vehicle has been maintained with regular intervals, but the lack of defects on the 2026-02-02 test does not guarantee that these issues have been resolved. Given the history of a failed MOT on January 14, 2025, and the subsequent passing on February 2, 2026, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical reliability. The 2026-02-02 test failure on a 147,620-mile count is the most recent indication of a problem, which is likely to have accelerated due to the 147,620-mile distance. The 2025-01-14 failure on a 144,583-mile count is a prior warning sign that the vehicle may require immediate attention or replacement of specific components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers. The 2026-02-02 test passing on a 147,620-mile count confirms that the vehicle has been maintained with regular intervals, but the lack of defects on the 2026-02-02 test does not guarantee that these issues have been resolved.
