Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in December 2025, but this followed a failure just four days prior. That failure revealed a significant number of defects that required urgent attention before the vehicle could be legally driven. There is a clear worsening trend regarding the vehicle's structural and mechanical condition. While the 2023 test was relatively clean, the 2024 and 2025 entries show a progression of serious issues. Most concerning are the defects found in December 2025, which included excessive corrosion on the outer sill that seriously affected its strength, as well as excessively corroded brake pipes at both the front and rear. The braking system has been a recurring problem. In 2024, there were issues with the parking brake efficiency and pitted rear discs. By 2025, the defects expanded to include wear on the rear brake pads and the aforementioned corroded pipes. There have also been repeated exhaust leaks, moving from a split clamp in 2024 to a blowing front flange in 2025. The mileage of 172,319 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age.
