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's most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 138,885 miles resulted in a clean PASS despite one critical defect, a binding offside rear service brake, and two minor issues with the exhaust mounting and nearside front lower arm ball joint dust cover. The brake fault, which also appeared in the 2024 test, indicates a persistent mechanical binding problem that requires immediate attention to prevent overheating and potential brake failure. The suspension and exhaust issues are recurring maintenance needs. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage of approximately 3,300 miles suggests significant periods of storage, which can cause rubber components to degrade and brakes to seize. Despite a perfect MOT record from 2023 to 2021, the recent recurring faults highlight the importance of a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase. Buyers should focus on the rear brake assembly, checking for seized calipers or cylinders, and inspect the deteriorating ball joint dust covers for signs of grease leakage or metal-on-metal wear. The exhaust mounting should be checked for corrosion and secure fastening.
