2019 Lincoln MK Z 2.0L Petrol · AD68 MXM

The 2026-05-29 MOT record confirms that the vehicle passed the test at 86,288 miles with no recorded defects, establishing a baseline of overall roadworthiness. However, the sequence of failures indicates a clear deterioration trend rather than stability, suggesting that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the ownership period. The most recent test in 2026 was passed, but the subsequent failures in 2025 and 2024 demonstrate a rapid accumulation of wear and tear that has accelerated significantly since the initial passing. The gap between the 2026 test and the 2025 failure is less than a month, reflecting a period of accelerated consumption where consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were likely replaced without routine inspection. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of critical components flagged in the MOT record, specifically the rear brake discs, suspension bushes, and structural integrity of the drivetrain. The persistent failure of the rear direction indicator and ply/cords exposure in the rear tyres, combined with the lack of a recent MOT, indicates that the suspension and braking systems have not been adequately maintained to prevent future catastrophic failure.
