AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2001 Mcc has 27 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 3,342 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, averaging only 3,196 miles per year, with significant gaps and unexplained jumps.

The mileage shows a suspiciously low average of 3,196 miles/year, with a 25-year gap to first MOT and a 4-year gap in 2021, plus unexplained high jumps before 2014, 2015, and 2016.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2025-02-04; vehicle is currently untaxed and not valid for road use.
  • Dangerous defect: Nearside Rear Direction indicator incorrect colour (Jan 2023) — safety-critical.
  • Dangerous defect: Offside Driver's door cannot be opened from inside (Jan 2023) — safety-critical.
  • Recurring major failures: Lights (3 failures, 1 advisory) across 2006, 2008, and 2023.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial fixes.
  • All 2 MOT failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the recent MOTs.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since 2019.
