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 following a successful MOT test on 21 May 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the immediate failure on that same date indicates a need for reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. Since the pass at 30,588 miles, the car has no recorded defects, suggesting that the identified faults were addressed promptly to return the vehicle to legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use private ownership, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. Between the June 2024 test at 24,293 miles and the May 2025 test at 30,588 miles, the vehicle covered 6,295 miles in just under a year. This relatively low annual mileage suggests that mechanical components such as the drivetrain and suspension should have minimal wear-related fatigue compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the nearside rear assembly to verify the repairs from the May 2025 failure. The tester flagged a fractured inner wheel and a tyre cut reaching the cords, which often results from a significant impact or curb strike. Ensure that the replacement wheel is free of hairline cracks and that the new tyre is properly seated without deformation. Given the low mileage, also check for flat-spots or rubber hardening on the tyres, as vehicles that sit for long periods can suffer from perished despite despite tread depth.
