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

The vehicle passes its most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 at 52,787 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The five prior tests, all passing with no defects, show consistent roadworthiness over the 2022 to 2026 period. The most recent result is a clean pass, which supports a positive outlook for the current ownership. The mileage of 52,787 miles over 18 years, or roughly 2,933 miles per year, is low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is 4,525 miles, and the gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests is 4,533 miles, which is a notable increase. This suggests a period of lighter use or extended standing between the 2024 and 2025 tests, followed by a return to more regular driving. The data is sparse, with only five tests recorded, and no recurring defects are flagged. Based on the clean record, the buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these components are common failure points on older vehicles. The low mileage is a positive indicator for the drivetrain and tyres, but the lack of a full service history means the condition of the engine, gearbox, and exhaust system should be verified. The absence of corrosion notes in the record is encouraging, but a visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is essential to confirm structural integrity.
