Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-22 showed the vehicle passed with several minor issues. The windscreen had damage not affecting visibility, rear brake pads were thin, and both rear tyres were near the legal limit. Corrosion was noted on suspension mounts and the rear sub-frame, but these were described as non-serious. These findings align with recurring themes of wear on tyres, brake components, and corrosion in structural areas. Earlier MOTs reveal a pattern of corrosion affecting suspension parts, including sub-frames, suspension arms, and mounting areas. Tyres consistently approached the legal limit, and brake pad wear was documented. A 2024-08-27 MOT included more severe issues, such as exhaust emissions exceeding limits, a worn anti-roll bar joint, and compromised seat belt anchorage. However, the 2025-01-30 MOTs (both pass and fail) suggest inconsistent reporting, with similar tyre and corrosion issues recurring. The trend shows some improvement in recent MOTs, as the 2026 pass had fewer critical failures compared to the 2024-08-27 failure. However, recurring corrosion and tyre wear indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
