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 pass in the September 2025 test at 89,613 miles, indicating that the MOT record is recent and the roadworthiness remains stable for the most recent interval. The overall maintenance trend appears to be stable, though the record shows a distinct gap between the September 2025 test and the September 2024 test, suggesting a period of inactivity or a lack of routine servicing during that interval. The mileage accumulation is low relative to the vehicle's age, with approximately 5,601 miles accumulated in 8 years, which is significantly lower than the typical 5,000–7,000 miles per year for a 2010 model. This low mileage suggests that the owner may have maintained the car for extended periods or engaged in light use, rather than rapid acceleration or high-speed driving which would normally cause such wear. Given the presence of specific recurring faults, including corrosion on brake hoses and ball joints, the vehicle carries a risk of mechanical deterioration that may require inspection in person to determine if the wear is progressing or if it is merely normal consumable wear.
