Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The November 2025 MOT at 169,366 miles resulted in a pass, but the recorded near‑side rear and off‑side front brake discs were noted as worn, pitted or scored, and the tyre pressure monitoring system was flagged as inoperative, indicating that the maintenance trend is not improving and remains concerning. Mileage accumulation has been rapid for a 13‑year‑old vehicle, averaging about 13,000 miles per year; the jump from 129,009 miles in September 2020 to 144,775 miles in October 2021 represents a 15,766‑mile increase in a single year, and the rise from 165,149 miles in December 2024 to 169,366 miles in November 2025 shows continued heavy use with limited standing periods. Recurring brake disc wear across the 2024 and 2025 tests, persistent tyre wear and pressure monitoring failures, and earlier horn and lamp defects point to inconsistent upkeep of braking and tyre systems, while the absence of structural rust advisories does not preclude the need to examine suspension bushes, coil springs and the chassis for corrosion or fatigue. A buyer should inspect the condition of the brake discs for scoring or cracking, verify the functionality of the tyre pressure monitoring system, assess the suspension components for worn bushes or sagging springs, check the chassis and wheel arches for any rust or structural damage, and confirm that the horn and all lamps operate correctly.
