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 currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on June 27, 2025 at 112,286 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met minimum standards despite two instances of 시험 failure. The fact that the failures in 2024 and 2025 resulted in no recorded defects on the subsequent passes suggests the issues were likely minor consumable items or light bulb replacements that were addressed immediately rather than deep-seated mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 98,641 miles and the June 2025 test at 112,286 miles, the car covered 13,645 miles over two years. This indicates a regular driving pattern rather than long periods of stationary which can lead to rubber component degradation or brake corrosion. The most recent MOT is just over a year old, providing a relatively current snapshot of the state of the chassis and safety systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the recent failures, although the record does not specify the exact faults. Given the age and mileage of this Qashai, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these are common points of wear on this platform. Examine the brake discs for excessive thinning and inspect the exhaust mounting points for signs of structural rust. While the MOT history shows no advisories, the vehicle has clearly been well-maintained enough to pass its tests after failures, suggesting a proactive approach to basic repairs by the previous owner.
