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

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend based on the most recent MOT results. Following a failure in May 2025, the car has passed two subsequent tests in April 2026. The most recent test on 28 April 2026 resulted in a pass, though the tester noted an advisory regarding items removed from the driver's view prior to the inspection. The recorded mileage of 44,710 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,178 miles per year. The MOT history is relatively sparse, covering a period from May 2025 to April 2026. There is a notable cluster of testing activity in April 2026, with tests recorded on both 23 April and 28 April, suggesting a retest or a closely timed inspection sequence. The 12 May 2025 failure specifically identified a major defect regarding the offside rear tyre, which had a cut deep enough to reach the ply or cords. While this specific issue was resolved, a buyer should physically inspect the condition of all four tyres for similar cuts, bulges, or uneven wear. Given the recent advisory about obstructions in the driver's view, a check of the windscreen area and dashboard for any non-standard attachments or damage is advisable. No issues regarding suspension components, brake discs, or structural corrosion have appeared in these records. However, because the MOT history is limited to a short timeframe, a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension bushes remains necessary to confirm the current state of these consumables. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
