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

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 21 August 2026 indicates a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend regarding electrical components shows signs of improvement, as the failures noted in 2024 and 2025 related to lighting have been resolved. The record shows a pattern of minor electrical failures, specifically involving the central stop lamp and front position lamps, which were corrected following the failed tests on 21 August 2024 and 30 July 2025. The recorded mileage of 48,243 miles is low for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,711 miles per year. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing, with entries in August 2024, July 2025, and August 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, though the low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen limited use over its thirteen-year lifespan. A prospective buyer should focus on the electrical system given the repeated failures of the central stop lamp and position lamps in the 2024 and 2025 tests. While these were passed in subsequent inspections, checking for intermittent bulb failures or wiring issues is advisable. Because the vehicle has been driven low distances, a physical inspection should also include checking for signs of age-related degradation in rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish during long periods of inactivity. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
