Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The 2026-05-08 MOT at 177,470 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, showing only a tyre wear advisory (5.2.3 (e)) and indicating stable maintenance. Mileage has risen from 149,747 miles in early 2024 to 177,470 miles by May 2026, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 25‑year age and typical usage; the intervals between tests show steady accumulation of about 14,000–15,000 miles per year, with no evidence of long standing periods or abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the rear brake calipers for binding, check the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, verify the exhaust system and Lambda sensor condition, and assess the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, while also confirming that the tyre wear observed at the latest test is limited to edge wear rather than uneven tread indicating alignment or suspension problems.
