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

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass at 38,612 miles on 24 November 2025. The maintenance trend shows marked improvement following a significant failure in November 2024, where a fractured offside front coil spring caused the test to fail. The defect was rectified, as evidenced by the subsequent clean pass just ten days later, indicating the previous owner addressed the structural suspension issue promptly. The recorded mileage of 38,612 miles over eleven years is exceptionally low, translating to an average annual distance of roughly 3,510 miles. This suggests the vehicle has seen minimal use, which typically preserves the condition of major mechanical components but can lead to issues such as brake caliper binding, tyre flat-spotting, and battery degradation if the car has been stored for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Focus particularly on the suspension system, checking the offside front coil spring for any fresh cracking or fatigue, and inspecting the remaining suspension bushes for excessive wear. Additionally, examine the brake calipers for smooth operation and look for any signs of corrosion or sticking. Given the history of headlamp failures, verify that the headlamp aim has been correctly adjusted and that the optical units are intact. Finally, check the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion, as the low mileage suggests the vehicle may have spent considerable time stationary in damp conditions.
