Mechanical Assessment

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

Most recent MOT (7 Mar 2025 – PASS) The car passed the test at 145,582 mi, but three advisories remain: the exhaust heat‑shield is insecure, the exhaust flexible joint is in poor condition, and both rear tyres show cracking on the outer wall. An oil leak is also noted, although it is not classified as excessive. Recurring mechanical pattern Across the last four MOTs the same groups of parts keep re‑appearing: Tyres – the near‑side and off‑side rear tyres were flagged for cracking or perishing in 2025 and for being close to the legal limit in 2024. This suggests progressive tread loss and possible sidewall damage that will need replacement soon. Exhaust & heat‑shield – an insecure heat‑shield was first recorded in 2024, re‑appeared in 2025, and the flexible joint is now described as “poor”. Continued vibration can lead to rattles, overheating of nearby components, or even a fire risk if the joint fails. Steering / suspension – play in the steering rack inner joint was noted in 2024 and again in 2022, while a near‑side track‑rod end ball joint showed excessive play in 2025. Front inner suspension arm pins/bushes were flagged as worn in 2024. These items affect steering feel and could develop into a loss of control if they deteriorate further. Brakes – thin rear‑off‑side brake pads (2024), imbalanced rear brakes (2025) and damaged brake hoses (2022) indicate that the braking system is being pushed and that components are reaching the end of their service life.
