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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 15 May 2025 at 77,692 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to maintain legal compliance. Since the pass in May 2024, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories, indicating a consistent level of upkeep over the last year. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,692 miles represents a low-average average of approximately 6,000 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between May 2023 and 2024, and another 6,700 miles between May 2024 and 2025. This low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber seals and fluid components due to periods of stationary operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that triggered the failures in 2023 and 2025. While the record does not list the specific faults, recurring failures followed by immediate passes often involve items such as light bulbs, wipers, or minor fluid leaks. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and the condition of the suspension bushes is essential, as these parts perish and crack over time regardless of low mileage.
