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 is currently not roadworthy, following a failure in the October 2025 test at 163,076 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening, moving from minor advisories to critical structural and mechanical failures. The most recent test flagged excessive corrosion on the rear vehicle structure and chassis that seriously affects its strength, alongside a faulty supplementary restraint system warning lamp and worn brake pads and discs. The mileage is typical for a 23 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,090 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase in usage, rising from 113,728 miles in May 2017 to the current 163,076 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, but the frequency of failures has increased in recent years, suggesting a decline in preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritize a professional inspection of the chassis and subframe. The October 2025 failure for structural corrosion is a culmination of a long term trend, as the October 2024 and September 2023 tests both flagged corrosion on the rear suspension mountings and sills. This indicates systemic rust that has now progressed to a critical stage. The braking system and steering components also require scrutiny. The October 2025 test recorded worn pads and scored discs, while previous tests in 2021, 2022, and 2024 repeatedly flagged corroded brake pipes. Recurring issues with track rod end dust covers and suspension bushes since 2019 suggest that steering and suspension wear has been managed reactively rather than proactively.
