Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT from December 2025 resulted in a pass, but the vehicle is carrying multiple advisories for perishing tyres and corrosion on the side sills. The primary risk pattern is structural corrosion. In November 2022, the vehicle failed its MOT due to excessive corrosion on the offside front sill that significantly reduced structural strength. Although it has passed since then, the sills have been flagged for corrosion in every test since, indicating a persistent and ongoing issue with the body structure. There is also a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumables. The history shows frequent advisories for pitted and scored brake discs, thin brake pads, and tyres that are cracking or perishing. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one. The recorded mileage is highly ambiguous. In November 2022, the mileage was 173,234, but by December 2022, it was recorded as 107,666. It then jumped back up to 178,742 by December 2024.
