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 2023-10-14 showed the vehicle passed but noted multiple wear-related issues. Both front suspension arm bushes were worn but not causing excessive movement, and front tyres were near the legal limit. A severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot was also recorded. These findings align with recurring patterns in earlier MOTs. Suspension arm bush wear has been a consistent issue since at least 2019, appearing in 2022, 2023, and earlier. Brake pad wear was flagged in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs. The CV boot issue reappeared in 2021 and 2023, indicating potential neglect or repeated exposure to road conditions. These patterns point to gradual component degradation rather than sudden failures. The trend shows no clear worsening of defects over time. Issues like suspension bush wear and brake pad thinning remained consistent across MOTs, while others, such as shock absorber oil misting (2019), were not repeated.
