Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-22 recorded three tyres worn close to the legal limit, all on the front and rear nearside and offside. This aligns with a recurring pattern of tyre wear near the edge and tread depth thresholds. No major defects were noted in this test, but the tyres require monitoring. A trend of tyre wear has persisted since 2024, with multiple instances of tread depth below 1.6mm and edge wear. This suggests either inconsistent maintenance or potential alignment issues. The 2025-01-14 failed MOT also highlighted a broken rear exhaust mounting, which was later repaired as the 2026 MOT passed without this defect. However, the 2024 MOTs repeatedly flagged defective exhaust mountings, indicating a possible underlying issue with the suspension or chassis. Electrical faults, such as inoperative stop lamps and registration plate lamps, appeared in 2024 and 2025 MOTs. These are minor but recurring, pointing to potential wiring or bulb issues. No significant safety defects were recorded in the 2026 pass, but the vehicle’s age and mileage suggest components may be nearing the end of their service life.
