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

The most recent MOT test on March 21st, 2026, passed with no defects recorded. There is a recurring pattern of failure in the MOT history, with failures recorded in February 2026 and October 2022. However, all recorded tests, including the most recent one, have reported no specific defects. The overall trend in the MOT history is stable, as the vehicle has passed the most recent test without issue, despite previous failures. The mileage of 165,302 miles on a vehicle that is approximately 23 years old suggests an average annual mileage of around 7,187 miles. This level of mileage is typical for its age, indicating a moderate level of wear on components such as suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. Given the history, the primary risk pattern is the past failures, even though the current status is clear. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly, check the brake wear and condition, and examine the general condition of the drivetrain for any signs of wear consistent with the mileage.
