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 is currently road‑worthy, having passed the 30 June 2026 MOT at 90,914 miles with no recorded defects. Earlier in the series, the car failed several tests – notably the 29 May 2024 and 17 May 2023 examinations – but the most recent pass indicates an improving trend, with the earlier failure points either resolved or not re‑recorded. Mileage averages roughly 3,950 miles per year across the 23‑year lifespan, which is low for a vehicle of this age. The odometer rose from 41,813 miles in April 2017 to 58,901 miles by May 2021, then to 75,141 miles by May 2023, and finally to 90,914 miles in June 2026. The increments suggest steady, moderate use rather than periods of intense mileage accumulation, and no large gaps in recorded mileage appear. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension and steering assemblies, where ball‑joint play was flagged repeatedly (near‑side front inner ball joint in May 2025, off‑side front track‑rod end in May 2024, and anti‑roll bar linkages in May 2022). Brake components also merit close inspection: the May 2024 failure listed excessive play in the off‑side front track‑rod, worn pads, damaged rear brake cables, and a rough rear wheel bearing, while the May 2023 test recorded a parking‑brake efficiency shortfall. Engine mounting condition, exhaust leak, and oil‑leak reports from the 2024 and 2025 tests should be verified for any lingering movement or corrosion. Finally, the fractured off‑side front coil spring (May 2023) and deteriorated CV boot (May 2019) indicate that suspension wear and drivetrain protection may still be a concern. A thorough visual and functional check of these areas, together with a test drive to feel for any binding or vibration, will confirm whether the earlier issues have been fully remedied.
