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 without a valid MOT, as the last test was completed in April 2022. Given that today is June 2026, the vehicle has been off the road for four years, which is a significant gap in safety certification. The most recent MOT history reveals a serious and sudden deterioration in mechanical condition. In 2022, the vehicle failed with a dangerous defect regarding a fuel leak, described as fluid leaking continuously and posing a serious risk to road safety. This is a critical safety issue that suggests the fuel system components, such as lines or seals, may have perished or failed. In addition to the fuel leak, the 2022 test identified wear in the running gear. The tester noted play from the rear hubs and slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing. These defects indicate that the suspension and wheel assemblies have experienced stress or a lack of lubrication, leading to mechanical looseness that affects handling and safety. The condition trend is clearly worsening compared to previous years. The 2020 and early 2021 tests showed a largely clean bill of health, barring a minor administrative issue for a missing number plate.
