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 is currently roadworthy, passing the latest MOT test on 2026-01-19 at 69,770 miles. The maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern in brake pad life, with nearside and offside rear pads flagged as thin on the January 2026 test. This suggests the previous owner may have delayed brake servicing. The front brake disc issue from January 2025 indicates pitting, which typically results from overheating or using inferior brake fluid. The fractured nearside rear coil spring failure in January 2025 is a serious structural concern requiring immediate replacement. The tyre conditions show consistent edge wear on rear tyres, implying poor wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The headlamp aim and engine MIL failures from 2025 highlight inconsistent electrical and emissions management. Overall, the vehicle displays a concerning maintenance history of recurring brake and suspension failures, along with emissions non-compliance. A prospective buyer should arrange a pre-purchase inspection to verify the brake disc condition, coil spring replacement, and wheel alignment to ensure the vehicle's safety and reliability.
