Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 22, 2026, at 27,367 miles. The overall maintenance trend shows a stable pattern of minor consumable-related issues rather than mechanical or structural failure. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and brake hardware suggest a history of addressing faults only when they reach the MOT advisory thresholds rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 27,367 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 3,421 miles. This low-usage profile is consistent across the records, with 2,209 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and 2,876 miles between May 2024 and 2025. However, such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components through age, which is evidenced by the specific faults noted in the test history. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the braking system, as the record consistently flags pitted and scored rear brake discs across four consecutive years from 2023 to 2026. The 2024 failure for these discs along with a horn failure indicates the vehicle likely sat until until components required immediate attention. Additionally, the persistent mention of cracking and perishing tyres on multiple axles in 2023, 2025, and 2026 confirms the rubber is reaching the end of its life due to oxidation, regardless of tread depth.
