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 2025-11-10 recorded a pass, but it highlighted recurring suspension and corrosion issues. The offside front upper suspension ball joint had slight play, and surface corrosion was noted on underbody components. An oil leak and misting around the steering rack were also recorded, though not excessive. This follows a 2025-11-07 failure where the nearside front upper suspension ball joint was excessively worn, and an insecure rear suspension mounting impaired directional stability. The parking brake efficiency also fell below requirements, indicating a potential safety risk. A pattern of suspension component wear, brake binding, and corrosion emerges across multiple MOTs. Since 2022, nearside and offside front suspension joints have shown progressive wear, with ball joints transitioning from "slight play" to "excessive wear" within 14 months. Brake issues include binding and corrosion on brake hoses, while corrosion on the rear vehicle structure and reflectors has recurred. The 2024-11-14 MOT noted a corroded rear suspension mounting, and the 2025-11-07 failure included an insecure mounting affecting stability. These suggest ongoing mechanical degradation.
