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 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 103,744 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a failure in May 2025. While the 2025 test identified several electrical and exhaust issues, the subsequent clean sheet in 2026 indicates that the owner addressed the necessary faults to bring the car back to passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 90,028 miles and the 2026 test at 103,744 miles, the car covered 13,716 miles, showing regular use. This steady accumulation is generally positive for mechanical components as it prevents the seizing and corrosion often associated with vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. The 4,480 miles driven between the 2025 and 2026 tests suggest a consistent driving habit. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust system, specifically the front flexipipe, which was flagged in 2025. Although it passed the most recent test, these components are prone to wear and subsequent leaks on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension points is essential, as the record does not show historical structural advisories. Verify the electrical system, including the washers and lighting, to ensure the previous failures from 2025 have not recurred.
