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, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 91,060 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one week prior at 90,991 miles. That failure involved a fractured nearside front coil spring and headlamp alignment issues, alongside recurring tyre wear. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses critical mechanical faults once they prevent an MOT pass. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression of roughly 7,000 miles between the December 2023 test at 73,893 miles and the November 2025 test at 91,060 miles. This low annual mileage suggests the car is used for short trips, which can be harder on components than motorway driving, yet the lack of recorded defects in 2022 indicates that age related rubber components and suspension elements may degrade regardless of the low distance driven. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment closely. The record shows the offside front tyre has consistently worn on the inner edge across three consecutive years in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This persistent issue indicates a tracking fault or worn suspension bushes that continues to prematurely consume new tyres if ignored. The fractured coil spring noted in 2025 further highlights that the suspension is reaching the end of its functional life, necessitating a thorough physical check for corrosion or play in the remaining arms and dampers.
