AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2015 Herald Motor Company has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 7,502 miles. The extremely low mileage, combined with a 3-year MOT gap, makes this vehicle an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 905 miles/year, with a 3-year MOT gap (Aug 2019-Sep 2022) where mileage is unverified, and a suspiciously low 25 miles/year before Sep 2022.
Things to check
- MOT history shows a 3-year gap (Aug 2019–Sep 2022) with no recorded tests or mileage.
- Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious: 7,502 mi in 4 years (2015–2019), then 7,649 mi in 3 years (2019–2022).
- Mileage significantly below average: 8,804 mi total over 11 years, indicating minimal use or potential tampering.
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2025-09-19, indicating a significant lapse in roadworthiness checks.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- No MOT failures recorded since the single 2023 failure was immediately rectified.
- The single 2023 failure was for minor items (reflector, headlamp aim), easily fixed.
- The vehicle has a valid DVLA registration and consistent VIN tracking.
