Mechanical Assessment
The most recent MOT record is from May 2022, meaning the vehicle has not been tested for over four years. This is a significant gap that leaves the current roadworthiness of the car unknown. There is a clear and recurring pattern of defects regarding the front suspension and steering. From 2018 through 2022, there have been consistent notes regarding wear on the suspension arm bushes and play in the swivel pins or king pins. The condition of these components appears stable but persistently worn, suggesting they have not been fully overhauled. The braking system shows a worrying trend. The history records binding front brakes and long handbrake travel in 2021, followed by a failure in 2022 due to poor parking brake efficiency and excessive lever movement. This indicates a system that has suffered from neglect or deterioration. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 1,242 miles per year. In a car this old, such low usage often implies long periods of standing.
