Mechanical Assessment

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

OVERALL VERDICT The vehicle recorded a clean pass in the most recent MOT test conducted on 2026-05-14 at 54,271 miles. The maintenance history indicates a resolving trend regarding safety critical components. While the car failed its test on 2024-05-16 due to brake pad thickness and tyre damage, these items were rectified prior to the subsequent tests on 2025-05-15 and 2026-05-14. There are no outstanding defects recorded against the vehicle at present, confirming it meets the minimum standards for roadworthiness at this time. MILEAGE AND WEAR PROFILE With an age of eight years and a recorded mileage of 54,271 miles, the vehicle exhibits an average annual usage of approximately 6,784 miles. This profile suggests typical usage rather than excessive wear on major drivetrain components. However, the MOT history highlights accelerated wear on braking and rolling resistance systems between 2023 and 2025. Brake pad thickness was noted as thin on 2023-05-18 at 29,464 miles and critically low on 2024-05-16 at 36,816 miles, indicating regular servicing was performed to replace them before failure. Tyre conditions improved from damaged sidewalls in 2024 to near legal limit wear in 2025 before clearing completely in the latest test. CRITICAL IN PERSON CHECKS A prospective buyer must physically verify the condition of the front brake discs and pads to ensure the previous replacement remains within safe operating limits.
