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 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 45,347 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a momentary failure on that same date due to a nearside rear tyre cut reaching the cords. This specific issue was rectified immediately to achieve a pass, and the clean sheet from October 2024 suggests that the vehicle was generally maintained in good mechanical condition during its mid-life period. The mileage profile is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a notable usage spike between February 2023 at 21,813 miles and February 2024 at 33,077 miles, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in twelve months. The subsequent interval of 7,725 miles over the next eight months indicates a shift toward lower annual usage, which typically helps mitigate excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the February 2024 test at 33,077 miles flagged thin pads on all four wheels and worn, pitted, or scored discs. While these are standard consumable items, the 12,000 miles driven since then mean the components may be nearing the end of their life again. The history of multiple tyre cuts and nails noted in early 2024 also suggests a history of driving on poor road surfaces, necessitating a thorough physical inspection of the current tyre sidewalls and tread to ensure no structural damage remains present.
