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 shows a declining maintenance trend regarding mechanical components and fluid integrity. While the car has passed its tests, the most recent MOT on 16 March 2022 at 147,319 miles flagged an oil leak and rusty rear brake back plates. This follows a pattern of recurring issues with suspension and braking systems that have appeared intermittently over the last decade. The lack of any MOT data since March 2022 is a significant concern, as the vehicle is now over four years past its last recorded inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,754 miles per year. The records show steady usage, moving from 122,127 miles in March 2020 to 133,714 miles in March 2021, and finally 147,319 miles in March 2022. There are no obvious periods of long-term inactivity, which suggests the car has been driven regularly. However, the absence of recent testing data means the current mechanical state and mileage accuracy cannot be verified. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension. The history shows chronic issues with brake discs being worn or pitted, dating back to 2015, and a failure in March 2018 involving a broken offside rear coil spring and poor parking brake efficiency. The tester also noted rusty rear brake back plates in 2022 and corroded nearside rear coil springs in 2020. These recurring faults suggest the suspension components and braking hardware are nearing the end of their service life. The oil leak noted in the 2022 test requires immediate investigation to determine if it is a minor seal issue or a more significant engine fault. Additionally, the history of tyre wear on edges in 2021 and near-legal limits in 2012 and 2016 indicates potential wheel alignment issues or neglected consumable maintenance. Given the age of the vehicle and the specific faults recorded, a professional inspection of the underside for corrosion and the engine for leaks is essential.
