Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2025-06-24 MOT at 168,108 miles passed with no defects, confirming the vehicle's current roadworthiness; the preceding June 20 failure at 167,844 miles was remedied before the retest, indicating a resolved issue rather than an ongoing decline. Mileage has risen steadily from 136,221 miles in August 2022 to 168,108 miles in June 2025, a gain of roughly 31,900 miles over three years, or about 10,600 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle's 21‑year age and typical usage patterns; the interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests was only four days, showing continuous operation without prolonged standing periods. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or scoring, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for rust or corrosion, and assess the condition of the exhaust system and mounting points, while also checking tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition as routine consumable items.
