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 currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful inspection on 10 March 2026 at 123,959 miles. Tested just five months ago, this certification confirms the car meets DVSA minimum roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trajectory remains stable across the available testing window. The vehicle cleared the 5 March 2025 assessment at 120,249 miles without advisories, and repeated this clean result in February 2024 and February 2023. A single failure on 27 February 2026 at 123,939 miles appears in the log, though the official record lists no specific defects for that event. The immediate rectification before the March 2026 pass suggests the issue was minor and resolved promptly. The testing pattern reflects consistent upkeep without a downward trend in mechanical condition. The odometer reading of 123,959 miles aligns with the vehicle seventeen-year service life, averaging approximately 7,300 miles annually. This usage rate sits within the expected range for a city hatchback and indicates moderate.
