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 currently holds a valid roadworthiness status, having passed the most recent MOT test conducted on 16 November 2022 at 139,814 miles. The maintenance history demonstrates a pattern of addressing minor consumable wear, specifically relating to brake pads and tyre tread depth, which were flagged in 2020 and 2021. There are no recurring structural or mechanical failures noted in the official record, suggesting a stable and acceptable level of care for the vehicle during its operational life. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. The recorded history shows a steady progression, with the most recent test at 139,814 miles in late 2022, representing an average annual usage of approximately 9,987 miles. The earlier failure entries in November 2021 and October 2020 indicate that while basic maintenance was occasionally deferred, the vehicle remained mechanically sound enough to pass subsequent inspections. A buyer should inspect the front headlamp alignment and function, as this was flagged as incorrect in 2020 and 2021. The condition of all four tyres must be thoroughly checked to ensure no cords or ply exposure, as this was an issue recorded in 2021. Given the vehicle's age and the previous tyre failure, a physical inspection of the suspension components, including coil springs and suspension bushes, is recommended to check for signs of wear or corrosion.
