Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 passed with no recorded defects at 33 602 mi, indicating the car was road‑legal at the time of testing. A recurring theme in the MOT record is brake wear. The 2025 failure listed both front brake pads as “wearing thin” and rear brake discs as “worn, but not excessively corroded”. The 2023 pass also noted rear discs worn and slightly corroded. This suggests the braking system has been a consistent point of concern, even though the latest test shows the issue has been addressed. Another pattern appears in the 2025 failure: several anti‑roll‑bar and suspension ball‑joint dust covers were reported as no longer preventing dirt ingress. These components were not mentioned in later tests, implying they may have been replaced or repaired after the 2025 failure. Overall the trend is mixed. The 2022 and 2023 MOTs were clean or only minor, the 2025 test showed multiple safety‑related defects, and the 2026 test returned a clean bill of health. If the 2025 failures were remedied, the condition appears to be improving; however, the age of the vehicle means wear can re‑appear quickly.
