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's recent MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of pass status, moving from a failure in May 2024 to a clean pass in October 2025. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 recorded no defects, which follows a period of frequent failures and multiple advisories. While the latest result is clean, the previous two years showed recurring issues with consumables and braking components. The vehicle has covered 176,332 miles over its lifespan, averaging approximately 8,817 miles per year. This represents a steady usage pattern consistent with a 20-year-old vehicle. The MOT records provide a relatively consistent timeline of inspections, though the gaps between tests vary, such as the period between September 2022 and May 2024. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The records show a pattern of thinning brake pads and worn discs noted in September 2022 and May 2024, alongside a major failure for parking brake efficiency in May 2024. The offside front coil spring was also flagged for corrosion in May 2024, suggesting that the suspension components require close scrutiny for structural integrity and rust. Tyre maintenance also warrants attention. The history includes a dangerous failure in September 2022 due to exposed cords on the offside rear tyre and another dangerous failure in August 2021 regarding a sidewall cut on the nearside rear. Although recent tests do not list tyre advisories, the recurring nature of these faults suggests that the condition of the rubber and the wheel alignment should be verified during a physical appraisal. buying_score: 62 risk_level: Medium.
