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 on 8 September 2025 at 110,100 miles. However, the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to a worsening pattern of neglect. The 2025 test required a re-test after five days due to multiple failures involving the parking brake, brake linkages, a front track rod end, and worn rear tyres. A similar pattern emerged in September 2024, where the car failed on imbalanced front brakes, worn rear pads, and damaged suspension dust covers. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,469 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, increasing from 34,601 miles in December 2016 to 110,100 miles by September 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the frequency of failures increased noticeably after the vehicle passed 100,000 miles. A buyer must closely examine the braking system and suspension. The recurring failures of the parking brake and brake linkages in both 2024 and 2025 suggest a chronic issue with the rear braking mechanism rather than simple wear. The repeated failure of track rod ends and suspension ball joint covers indicates that the front-end steering and suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. Attention should be paid to the chassis and suspension arms. The September 2025 test flagged corrosion on both rear suspension arms. While the tester noted they were not seriously weakened at that time, this is a progressive issue. Given the vehicle's age and the recent trend of ignoring consumable wear until the MOT deadline, a thorough inspection for structural rust and suspension play is essential.
