Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle's roadworthiness trend is worsening. The most recent test on October 3, 2025, resulted in a pass but listed five distinct advisories. This followed a failure on September 29, 2025, where the tester flagged a non-functional windscreen washer and incorrect headlamp aim for both the nearside and offside. The car has covered 101,518 miles over 22 years, averaging roughly 4,614 miles per year. This is low for the vehicle's age. The record shows a clean pass in September 2024, while the September 18, 2023, test required a re-test after failing on an inoperative engine management indicator lamp and a faulty nearside front position lamp. A buyer should specifically examine the rear suspension and tyres. The October 2025 test identified perishing on both nearside and offside rear tyres, alongside a worn nearside rear suspension arm bush. The tester also flagged corrosion on the offside rear suspension mounting area and a worn offside front coil spring. These findings indicate age-related degradation of rubber components and structural oxidation.The vehicle's roadworthiness trend is worsening.
