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 currently holds a clean MOT status following its most recent pass on 14 November 2025 at 63,248 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of recurring mechanical issues. While the 2024 test at 60,018 miles flagged imbalanced front brakes and worn discs, the subsequent 2025 inspection recorded no defects, suggesting that the braking system and consumable components were addressed. The mileage profile indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,865 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. The record shows consistent, incremental increases in mileage, with the jump from 35,240 miles in November 2020 to 47,517 miles in November 2021 being the most significant period of use. This low-mileage pattern often correlates with reduced mechanical wear on the drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to neglected maintenance of rubber components and fluids. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and chassis integrity during a physical inspection. The MOT history reveals a persistent pattern of suspension wear, specifically regarding lower suspension arm bushes and ball joints, which appeared in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Although the most recent tests suggest these issues have been resolved, the recurring nature of these faults indicates the vehicle is prone to bushing degradation. The 2023 test at 55,112 miles also flagged corroded rear coil springs, which requires careful checking to ensure no significant structural rust has developed on the rear axle or subframe. Additionally, the frequent advisories for tyres wearing on the edges, seen in 2021, 2022, and 2024, suggest historical alignment issues. A thorough check of the wheel alignment and the current condition of all suspension bushes is recommended to ensure these previous faults have been permanently rectified.
