Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The most recent MOT from October 2025 resulted in a pass, but only after an initial failure. This failure required the replacement of a fractured offside rear coil spring, indicating that structural suspension wear is now becoming a factor. There is a concerning recurring pattern regarding the rear differential. A fluid leak has been noted as not excessive in both 2024 and 2025. While it has not yet caused a failure, the fact that it has persisted for at least two years suggests a leak that is not being actively repaired. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. The vehicle had a completely clean record in 2022, but subsequent years have seen a steady increase in issues, moving from wearing brake pads to a persistent oil leak and finally a broken suspension component. The mileage of 105,086 over 12 years is typical for its age. This suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left standing or driven excessively, meaning wear on the drivetrain and suspension is consistent with normal use. A buyer should first inspect the rear differential for active oil leaks and check the quality of the recently replaced rear coil spring.
