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 result from December 2025 passed, noting a worn front brake disc. A significant recurring mechanical pattern across the history involves corrosion of the integral body structure, particularly around the wheel arches on both the near side and off side rear, and corrosion affecting suspension components and the rear axle. The condition trend is not clearly improving or worsening; rather, the history shows repeated failures related to structural corrosion and components like suspension parts and brake discs, even when the vehicle passed later. The mileage of 80,514 miles on a vehicle that is approximately 27 years old suggests a relatively low annual mileage of around 2,982 miles per year, which could indicate lighter use or periods where the vehicle was not driven frequently. However, the MOT history highlights significant structural corrosion which is a serious concern regardless of the exact mileage. A buyer must immediately inspect the areas noted in the failed MOTs closely. Specifically, check the integrity of the body structure around the wheel arches, examine the suspension components for signs of wear or damage, and thoroughly inspect the brake discs for pitting or scoring.
