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

The 2026‑03‑30 MOT at 110,451 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend, as all earlier tests from 2023 to 2025 also showed no faults. Mileage has risen steadily from 87,237 miles in March 2023 to 110,451 miles by March 2026, averaging roughly 9,200 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 12‑year age and suggests consistent use without prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and chassis rails, as these components commonly show signs of age at this mileage. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the cumulative mileage means consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and brake pads may be due for replacement, and a physical inspection will verify that no hidden corrosion or suspension play has developed since the last test.
