Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a minor decline in proactive consumable care. The most recent test on December 5, 2025 at 39,657 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just two days prior. This initial failure involved non-conforming registration plates and front tyres reaching the legal wear limit, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed defects once they triggered a formal MOT failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. There is a gap of 7,644 miles between the November 2024 test at 32,013 miles and the December 2025 test, which reflects steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy accumulation. The relatively low annual mileage for this age suggests that the drivetrain and battery components have not been subjected to the high stress typically seen in high-mileage electric vehicles. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the 2025 record noted both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn on the edge. This uneven wear often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment. Given that the tyres were near the legal limit, a physical check of the current tyre set is necessary to ensure they have been replaced and that the wear pattern has not returned. No structural corrosion or significant mechanical failures were flagged in the recorded history, which is a positive indicator for the chassis's integrity.
