Tyre condition dominates the recent MOT observations, with three advisories recorded at the latest test on 28 August 2026 – a slightly damaged nearside front tyre and both the nearside front and off‑side rear tyres reported as worn close to the legal limit on the tread edge. Apart from these tyre‑related notes the vehicle has passed three successive annual tests without any recorded defects, indicating a generally clean roadworthiness record aside from the consumable tyre wear. At 38,280 miles the car has accumulated roughly 7,600 miles per year since its 2021 registration, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal private‑use expectations. The MOT history shows no gaps or periods of inactivity, suggesting the odometer reading reflects genuine use rather than prolonged storage. This moderate annual mileage implies that major wear items such as suspension bushings, brake pads and drivetrain components are likely to be in a mid‑life stage, but the tyre wear noted this year suggests the vehicle may be approaching the point where consumables will need replacement. When inspecting the car, give particular attention to the three tyres highlighted in the advisory. Look for cuts, bulges or sidewall damage on the nearside front, and verify tread depth across the entire tyre width to confirm whether the edge wear is uniform or indicative of mis‑alignment. During a short drive, feel for any vibration or pulsation through the steering wheel that could signal uneven tyre wear or a developing suspension issue, and listen for any thumping or squealing that might point to worn wheel bearings or brake components. A visual check of the wheel rims for corrosion or bent spokes is also advisable, as these can exacerbate tyre wear. Beyond the tyres, a routine appraisal of the braking system, steering feel and suspension should be performed even though no MOT failures have been recorded. Test the brakes for consistent pedal feel and absence of judder, and check that the vehicle tracks straight without pulling to one side, which would reveal any hidden alignment or suspension wear that may not yet have triggered an MOT advisory. Confirm that all fluid levels are topped up and that there are no visible leaks around the engine bay or under the chassis, ensuring that the car’s overall mechanical condition aligns with its otherwise clean MOT history.
