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

The MOT record for this 2011 Ford Cardinal Hearse presents a clean and consistent profile, with the most recent test in June 2025 at 60,875 miles showing no defects. The failure in June 2024 at 55,025 miles, also with no defects recorded, likely indicates a minor issue rectified immediately, as the subsequent pass followed on the same day. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults or advisories across all entries, suggesting the vehicle has been kept to a reasonable standard. The recorded mileage of 60,875 miles over approximately 15 years equates to an annual average of around 4,058 miles, which is low for the vehicle's age. The mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with annual increments of roughly 3,500 to 5,800 miles, suggesting steady but light use. There are no notable gaps or sudden spikes in mileage, implying the vehicle has not been laid up for extended periods or subjected to intensive driving. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should focus on typical age-related wear. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links may show degradation from age rather than mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has stood idle. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and sills, warrants a thorough inspection for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from rust if not stored properly. Tyres, while not flagged, should be examined for age-related cracking.
