Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle's most recent MOT test on March 16, 2026, at 91,799 miles passed with advisories for worn brake discs, corroded rear sub-frame, defective exhaust mounting, and worn or damaged tyres. The record shows a stable maintenance trend, with recurring advisories for brake discs, exhaust components, and tyres, but no worsening structural defects. The rear sub-frame corrosion is noted but not seriously weakened, and the coil spring fracture from 2019 has not recurred. The advisories suggest routine maintenance is required but do not indicate urgent mechanical risks. The mileage pattern is typical for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,061 miles per year. The record is clean with no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulation. The most recent test was just 4 months ago, indicating regular MOT compliance. The consistent advisories for brake discs and tyres suggest basic upkeep was prioritised, but the rear sub-frame corrosion and exhaust issues warrant closer inspection. A buyer should inspect the rear sub-frame for further corrosion, the exhaust system for leaks, and the brake discs for wear. The recurring advisories for brake discs and tyres highlight the importance of regular maintenance. The absence of worsening structural defects like the coil spring fracture in 2019 suggests the vehicle has been cared for. However, the rear sub-frame corrosion and exhaust issues require attention to ensure long-term structural integrity.
