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

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 97,259 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing every inspection without a single failure or advisory, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The distance covered between February 2022 at 52,538 miles and February 2026 at 97,259 miles shows a consistent usage pattern, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden degradation of seals and fluids. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion over five years is unusual for a car approaching 100,000 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually verify the condition of consumables. Specifically, check the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake pads, as these are wear items that may not have reached a critical failure point during the last test but will require replacement soon given the current mileage. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion and check the service history for evidence of gearbox oil changes and air filter replacements. The MOT record confirms the vehicle is mechanically sound according to DVSA standards, but a physical check of the drivetrain and suspension components will confirm if this level of care extends beyond the basic requirements of the annual test.
