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 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 2,102 miles. The extremely low total mileage for its age, combined with a 3-year MOT gap, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
Mileage shows a critical decrease of 85 miles between Jul 2019 (3,414 mi) and Jan 2022 (3,329 mi), and a 3-year unverified period from Jan 2023 to May 2026.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jul 2019 (3,414 mi) and Jan 2022 (3,329 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
- Mileage decreased by 85 miles between Jul 2019 (3,414 mi) and Jan 2022 (3,329 mi).
- No MOT recorded for 3 years (Jan 2023–May 2026), with unverified mileage during this period.
- Recurring brake failures (2018, 2019, 2023) and inadequate rear brake effort (2023).
Working in its favour
- Current MOT is valid until May 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (May 2026).
- The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests after initial failures, showing repairs were made.
