Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-07-08 resulted in a passing grade. The maintenance history demonstrates a fluctuating trend, with a failure recorded in June 2024 followed by a successful inspection in July 2025. This pattern suggests that issues identified in 2024 were addressed, as the subsequent test returned a satisfactory result. The vehicle has accumulated 117,354 miles since its 2010 registration, equating to approximately 7,335 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age. The record shows a relatively clean history between the 2023 and 2025 tests, though the 2024 failure highlights specific mechanical concerns that arose around 115,432 miles. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly, specifically checking the offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover for signs of ingress. The previous failure report noted this component was allowing dirt into the joint. Tyre condition requires close attention, as the 2025 test flagged wear close to the legal limit on both the offside and nearside front tyres, and the 2024 failure noted a cut in the nearside rear tyre. Furthermore, the 2024 failure report identified several functional and emissions issues that need verification. These include the failure of the electronic stability control switch, the non-functioning stop lamps, and the incorrect projected beam aiming of the headlamps. The exhaust system also failed the emissions test, emitting visible smoke exceeding the default limit.
