Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The most recent MOT, dated 2026-05-15, passed, but it noted a minor leak from the exhaust. A recurring mechanical pattern is the presence of exhaust gas leaks noted in both the 2026 and 2025 MOTs. The trend regarding mechanical issues is stable, as the most recent inspection only flagged a minor exhaust leak, suggesting the previous issues have been addressed or are minor. The mileage of 70,806 miles over approximately ten years suggests a usage rate of around 7,081 miles per year, which is typical for this type of vehicle. This mileage level indicates normal wear for its age, but it means components such as brakes and suspension will have experienced regular use. A buyer should inspect the brake components thoroughly, as the 2025 failure report specifically noted worn and corroded brake discs and thin brake pads. Secondly, check the exhaust system for any signs of further leaks, as this has been noted on two consecutive inspections. Finally, given the history of brake wear, closely examine the tyres and suspension components during a physical inspection.
