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 not roadworthy as its MOT expired in September 2022. The last test recorded multiple failures including corroded front coil springs and a severely deteriorated offside CV boot, indicating worsening structural and drivetrain issues. Recorded mileage of 172,497 miles over 17 years averages 10,147 annually, typical for the age. However, the four-year gap since the last MOT means current condition is unverified. Mileage rose steadily from 140,265 in 2018 to 172,497 in 2022, but no recent data exists. A buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly. Corroded coil springs risk structural failure; check for rust penetration. The offside CV boot failure requires immediate replacement to prevent drive shaft damage. The handbrake system failed to lock on both rear wheels, needing adjustment or repair. Also, verify tyre condition and brake components, as previous advisories on tyres and brakes suggest possible neglect. Corrosion on suspension parts may indicate inadequate maintenance or exposure to harsh conditions.
