Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 21 November 2025 at 76,808 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 5,486 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, with 10,685 miles added between November 2022 and November 2023, and a slight increase to 7,158 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or long periods of stagnation. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with the only anomaly being a failure on 8 November 2023, which was resolved and passed two days later at the same mileage. Because the DVSA record shows no advisories for several years, there is no documented evidence of deteriorating suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. The lack of reported defects suggests the previous owner adhered to a proactive maintenance schedule. A buyer should still perform a physical check for common age-related issues not always captured in a standard MOT. Focus on the condition of the rubber seals and the health of the battery, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from degradation due to under-use. Inspect the tyre dates to ensure the rubber has not perished despite having legal tread depth. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the underbody, as this is the primary risk for a vehicle of this vintage regardless of its mileage.
