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

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the provided MOT history. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in the preceding three years, specifically on 22 July 2024, 26 June 2023, and 15 July 2022. The recorded mileage of 64,316 miles suggests an average annual usage of approximately 6,432 miles over the ten-year lifespan of the vehicle. This represents relatively low mileage for a 2016 model. The MOT records show no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage between the recorded dates, indicating a regular inspection cycle. Because the MOT history contains no recorded failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, a physical inspection remains necessary to verify the current state of these components. The lack of recorded defects on consumables like tyres or wiper blades in the recent tests does not preclude the need for a manual check of tread depth and blade integrity. A buyer should focus on inspecting the underside for signs of chassis corrosion and checking the braking system for any binding calipers that may not have been flagged in the recent clean passes.
