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 and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 4 December 2025 at 20,215 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a high standard and remains in a mechanically sound state. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,444 miles per year. Between 15 December 2022 and 4 December 2025, the odometer moved only 1,894 miles. This extremely low usage indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary. While the lack of wear on mechanical components is a benefit, long intervals of inactivity can lead to specific degradation not always captured in a brief MOT test. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rubber components and braking system. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished tyre sidewalls or glazed brake discs due to lack of use. Check for any signs of brake caliper binding or perished suspension bushes, as these components can degrade through age even without high mileage. Verify the condition of the battery and all fluid levels. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 5 December 2023 at 18,575 miles, though the specific defect was not detailed in the summary. Given the low annual mileage, ensuring the engine has been regularly exercised and the oil changed by time rather than distance is essential to avoid internal sludge or seal failure.
