Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The most recent MOT on 11 May 2026 was a pass, but the test recorded a non‑obligatory stop lamp that was not working. That is the only defect flagged for the current year. Looking back over the last five years the car has mostly cleared its MOTs. The only failure was in May 2023, when the registration‑plate lamp and an off‑side side repeater lens were both judged defective. Those are electrical items rather than structural or mechanical faults, and they were remedied (the car passed the next test in May 2023). The only other recurring note is a minor tyre issue in May 2024 – a cut on the off‑side front tyre that did not reach the ply. No other defects were recorded. Overall the trend is stable: the vehicle has passed three consecutive tests with only a single minor electrical fault each year. There is no evidence of worsening suspension, brake, or drivetrain condition in the MOT data. The pattern suggests that any problems have been limited to lighting components and a tyre surface blemish, both of which are straightforward to repair.
