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 remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning lack of attention to wheel geometry. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 33,667 miles passed, it resulted in multiple advisories for uneven tyre wear across all four corners. This mirrors a pattern seen in October 2023 at 22,549 miles, where both front tyres were nearly bald on the inner edges. The recurring nature of these faults suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that remain unaddressed. The mileage profile is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,741 miles per year over the nine-year period since its 2017 registration. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to degradation of rubber-based components. Between November 2024 and November 2025, the car covered only 4,793 miles, indicating it may have sat stationary for long periods. Such sitting patterns can cause brake caliper seizing, flat spotting on tyres, and accelerated aging of fluid seals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and steering linkage to explain the consistent inner-edge tyre wear. The tester also flagged a damaged windscreen in 2025, which requires a check for cracks that could compromise structural integrity. Given the 2022 failure regarding the supplementary restraint system warning lamp, the SRS system should be scanned via diagnostics to ensure no latent faults remain in the airbags. Because of the low mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on brake discs and perished rubber hoses is essential to ensure the vehicle is safe for immediate use.
