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's most recent MOT test in April 2022 at 26,043 miles passed, but the tester flagged worn and slightly damaged offside rear tyres. This suggests the vehicle has been driven sparingly, with basic maintenance like tyre replacement deferred. The maintenance trend is inconsistent, with no clear pattern of improvement or deterioration. The 2017 test at 23,205 miles failed for thin front brake pads, and the 2016 test at 11,291 miles failed for imbalanced front brakes. These recurring brake issues indicate potential wear or misalignment, warranting closer inspection. The vehicle's mileage history is unusually low for its age. It has been driven at roughly 2,000 miles per year, which is typical for a lightly used car. The most recent test in 2022 was followed by a five-year gap before the next test in 2026, which is unusually long. This suggests the vehicle may have been parked for extended periods, which could have affected the suspension and other components. The clean mileage pattern, with no rapid mileage accumulation, implies consistent but light use. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front brakes for wear, misalignment, or binding, as the MOT history highlights recurring issues. The suspension may also require attention due to the long parking periods. The rear tyres are worn and slightly damaged, indicating the need for replacement. The vehicle's low mileage and light use suggest that major mechanical components like the engine and transmission may be in good condition, but this should be verified through a thorough inspection.
