Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2025 MOT records show a recent failure on 2025-07-26, with critical issues including offside front brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick, rear brake pads wearing thin, and a failed brake performance test. These indicate significant brake system degradation, which poses a safety risk. The same date also includes a passed MOT, but the failure highlights unresolved mechanical concerns. Recurring issues since 2024 reveal a pattern of brake wear and tyre deterioration. Front brake discs were noted as worn in 2024, with brake pads described as “wearing thin” in multiple tests. Tyre damage, including cracks, perishing, and a nail in the offside front tyre, has persisted across 2024 and 2025. These recurring advisories suggest inconsistent maintenance or ongoing wear. The trend shows worsening conditions, particularly with brake components. The 2025 failure includes a critical brake pad thickness issue (1.5 mm is the legal minimum), which was not present in earlier records. Tyre damage has also reoccurred, indicating potential neglect in monitoring tread or inflation.
