Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-04-20 with some notable advisories. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, as the vehicle has failed its MOT test due to a leaking brake pipe and unable to test brake performance, in addition to a corroded front sub-frame. This is a concerning development, particularly given the vehicle's age and relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern suggests that the vehicle has been used lightly, with an average annual mileage of approximately 3,476 miles. However, there are some notable gaps in the data, such as the lack of records between 2016 and 2018, which may indicate periods of prolonged inactivity or storage. The rapid mileage accumulation between 2018 and 2024, with the vehicle covering over 13,000 miles in just six years, may also be a cause for concern. It is worth noting that the mileage is still relatively low for a vehicle of this age, but the recent MOT failures suggest that maintenance may have been neglected in the past. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brake system in person, paying particular attention to the rear brake pipes, which have been flagged as leaking and corroded in previous MOT tests. The vehicle's suspension should also be inspected, as the rear coil springs have been found to be slightly corroded in the past. Additionally, the vehicle's underbody and front sub-frame should be examined for signs of corrosion, as these have been identified as areas of concern in recent MOT tests. Furthermore, the vehicle's tyres should be inspected for any signs of wear or damage, particularly given the history of tyre failures in previous MOT tests.
