Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 August 2025 at 76,839 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a similarly clean result in September 2024, suggesting the car is currently in a well-maintained state. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between September 2024 and August 2025, where the odometer rose by 8,803 miles. This is a higher annual accumulation than the previous period between August 2022 and August 2023, which saw 9,181 miles added. The steady climb in mileage indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which typically benefits engine health and seal integrity. A buyer should investigate the history of the tyres and suspension geometry. The record shows recurring inner edge wear on rear tyres in August 2021 and August 2023, alongside outer edge wear on the front tyre in August 2020. These patterns often point to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. While the most recent tests are clean, these recurring tyre issues suggest a historical tendency toward uneven wear. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and engine seals. The August 2021 test flagged pitted brake discs and thin rear pads, and the August 2023 test noted a non-excessive oil leak. While these were not failures, they indicate a period of deferred maintenance. A physical inspection should confirm that the oil leak was permanently resolved and that the braking components have since been replaced to avoid imminent consumable costs.
