Mechanical Assessment
The most recent MOT passed in November 2025, but the inspection uncovered a significant list of defects that highlight a serious ongoing issue with corrosion. The primary risk pattern is extensive decay across multiple critical systems. The history shows persistent chassis corrosion, which has been noted for several years, alongside heavily corroded fuel pipes and corroded brake pipes and hoses. Recent failures also identified deteriorated CV boots and play in a front wheel bearing. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening. While the 2023 MOT focused on corrosion in the suspension and chassis, the 2025 records show that the decay has spread to vital fuel and braking components. This progression suggests that the underlying corrosion is active and expanding. The mileage is relatively low for a 32-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,689 miles per year. While this might imply less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage often means the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods. This pattern of under-use is a likely contributor to the heavy corrosion seen in the brake lines, fuel pipes, and rubber CV boots.
