Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle currently maintains a passing roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-10-02 at 34,928 miles. The maintenance history shows a history of addressing specific mechanical issues, notably the failure recorded on 2023-09-28 when the rear brake pads were found to be less than 1.5 mm thick. Since that point, the vehicle has passed two subsequent inspections, indicating that immediate remedial action was taken to rectify the brake component deficiency. The current advisories relate to the front windscreen wiper blade and the wear on the offside rear tyre. The mileage accumulation suggests a relatively consistent usage pattern. Between 2022-09-15 and 2023-09-28, the vehicle covered 10,000 miles. The subsequent period saw a further increase to 11,472 miles by the October 2024 test. The jump to 34,928 miles by the 2025 test represents a significant accumulation over nearly three years, averaging approximately 3,881 miles per year. This rate is consistent with light to moderate usage, but the pattern of tyre wear noted at the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically sound, there may be a need for periodic replacement of the tyre components to maintain legal tread depth. A buyer should inspect the suspension components and brake system thoroughly. The previous failure of the rear brake pads indicates a need to check the condition of all brake discs and calipers for signs of wear or binding. Furthermore, the recurring advisories regarding tyre wear on both the front and offside rear positions suggest that the suspension and steering components should be checked for any underlying issues that might be causing uneven wear. The overall mechanical history is stable, but the buyer should verify the condition of all suspension bushes and structural integrity during a physical inspection.
