Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight

The most recent MOT was on 2025-11-17 — just over seven months ago — and it passed, but with multiple advisories and one failure earlier the same day at the same mileage (94,833). That dual outcome suggests the vehicle was retested after urgent fixes, likely for lights and washer fluid. A clear pattern emerges: persistent tyre wear across all four corners, now consistently flagged as “worn close to legal limit/worn on edge” since 2023. Brake issues recur too — rear brake disc failure in 2023, then nearside rear service brake fluctuation in 2025. Suspension wear (front arm pins/bushes) appeared in 2023 and hasn’t been re-reported, but hasn’t been cleared either. Lights — especially nearside front and rear position lamps — have failed or been advisory repeatedly since at least 2023. The condition trend is worsening. Tyres went from advisory on one corner in 2024 to all four corners by 2025. Brake concerns evolved from front disc wear (2023) to rear service brake fluctuation (2025), suggesting progressive degradation. The oil leak and snapped driver’s door handle are new in 2025 — minor but indicative of accumulating neglect.
