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

The vehicle's most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 90,294 miles passed with no defects, but the November 2025 test at the same mileage failed due to non-functional headlamps. This suggests the headlamps were repaired between tests, but the repair was not verified by the tester. The November 2024 test at 87,954 miles failed due to tyre defects and corrosion on the offside front subframe. The December 2023 test at 84,429 miles passed with advisories for suspension components, indicating a stable but not perfect maintenance trend. The vehicle's mileage has been consistently low for its age, averaging around 5,311 miles per year, which may reflect lighter use or long periods standing. The vehicle's mileage pattern is consistent but low for its age. The most recent test in November 2025 was at 90,294 miles, which is 2,337 miles since the December 2024 test at 87,954 miles. This suggests a steady but not aggressive driving pattern. The December 2023 test was at 84,429 miles, which is 3,525 miles since the November 2024 test. This gap could indicate a period of inactivity or lighter use. The vehicle's low mileage overall may have preserved some components but also suggests potential neglect of minor upkeep, as evidenced by recurring tyre defects. A buyer should inspect the headlamps in person to confirm they are fully functional. The recurring tyre defects in the November 2024 test suggest a pattern of neglecting basic upkeep. The corrosion on the offside front subframe in the November 2024 and December 2023 tests indicates structural integrity concerns that require closer inspection. The advisories for suspension components in the December 2023 test highlight ongoing wear that should be monitored. The vehicle's low mileage may have delayed some wear, but the recurring faults suggest a need for vigilant maintenance.
