Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-29 recorded a pass with several brake-related issues, including front service brake fluctuation, thin brake pads, and worn, pitted brake discs. These defects were also noted in earlier MOTs, indicating persistent wear on braking components. A prior failure on 2026-04-28 highlighted similar brake issues, along with tyre defects (lumps, tears, and a missing wheel fixing), suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. Recurring defects include brake disc wear, suspension arm bushing wear, and tyre condition problems. Brake discs were flagged as "worn, pitted or scored" in multiple MOTs from 2024 to 2026, while suspension arm bushings were noted in 2026 and 2024. Tyre issues, such as structural separation and tears, appeared in 2026 and 2025. These patterns point to gradual wear on critical safety components rather than sudden failures. The trend shows no clear improvement or worsening. Brake and suspension issues reoccurred across MOTs, but the 2026 pass suggests some repairs were addressed. However, repeated brake disc wear and tyre defects imply potential neglect or accelerated degradation.
