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 roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 December 2025 at 157,536 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, moving from a period of recurring consumable failures to a clean sheet in the latest inspection. While the current result is positive, the historical data indicates that the previous owner frequently only addressed maintenance issues once they reached the MOT failure threshold. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between November 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 32,796 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,200 miles annually thereafter. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, as the vehicle has undergone annual inspections, which suggests it has remained in regular use rather than sitting for long periods that often lead to seized components or degradation of rubber components. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension and alignment due to the recurring uneven tyre wear noted in December 2021, 2023, and 2024. The repeated reports of tyres worn on the edges across multiple axles suggest persistent tracking issues, worn control arm bushes, or incorrect geometry that was never professionally rectified. The front brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in late 2021; while they passed subsequent tests, the physical thickness and condition of the current pads and discs should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of functional life.
