The most recent MOT on 2023-01-26 shows both a passed and failed outcome for the same vehicle, indicating potential inconsistencies in the testing process or documentation. The failed test lists issues including an offside front position lamp not working, nearside front tyre worn close to legal limit, and recurring suspension arm bush wear on both front sides. The passed test from the same date includes similar suspension and tyre issues, along with rust on the nearside inner sill and minor brake binding. These findings suggest persistent mechanical and structural concerns. Recurring defects in the MOT history include suspension arm bush wear on both front sides, documented in every MOT from 2021 to 2023. This pattern indicates a long-standing issue that has not been resolved, potentially pointing to aging components or inadequate maintenance. Tyre wear near the legal limit and rust on body panels further highlight ongoing degradation. While brake binding was noted as “not excessive,” the repeated mention of suspension and tyre issues suggests a gradual decline in critical safety systems. The vehicle’s mileage of 187,187 miles for a 33-year-old car is unusually low, averaging 5,672 miles per year. This could imply periods of inactivity or light use, which may contribute to rust, component stiffness, or electrical faults.
