Mechanical Assessment

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

This car passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 with two advisory notes for slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. These are the first suspension play advisories in the history, and they represent a new development since the previous clean pass in September 2025. The mechanical pattern shows a history of neglected maintenance catching up. The August 2024 failure was severe, with a serious fluid leak from the nearside rear shock absorber, brake pads below 1.5mm, binding rear brakes, and a non-functioning airbag warning lamp. The retest pass on 19 August 2024 fixed the most dangerous items but left many advisories for worn suspension bushes, misting shock absorbers, and a damaged sill. The September 2025 failure was minor (indicator discolouration and low parking brake efficiency), and the pass that followed was clean. The current advisories for ball joint play suggest the suspension wear is now progressing into the front end. The trend is worsening. The car moved from a clean pass in September 2025 to two new front suspension play advisories eight months later. The underlying suspension and shock absorber wear flagged in 2024 has not been fully addressed, and the front ball joints are now showing the same kind of deterioration.
