Mechanical Assessment

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

Most recent MOT: Passed on 2 May 2025 at 61,480 mi. The car has two recorded failures (April 2025 and April 2023) but neither listed a specific defect, suggesting the failures may have been administrative or minor items that were corrected before the next test. Pattern: The MOT record is otherwise clean, with four passes and no documented faults over the last three years. The occasional failure does not indicate a growing safety issue, and the latest pass shows the vehicle currently meets legal standards. Trend: The data points to a stable condition. There is no evidence of a worsening defect pattern; the vehicle has consistently cleared MOT after each failure. Mileage vs age: At roughly 6,800 mi per year, the 61,480 mi on a 2017 model is typical. This mileage does not point to excessive wear, but it also does not guarantee light use – the car could have periods of low activity balanced by harder use. The mileage alone is therefore ambiguous regarding component life. What to inspect first: - Verify why the two MOT failures were issued and confirm any remedial work was carried out.
