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 presents in a roadworthy condition, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test in June 2026 at 45,060 miles. The maintenance trend is currently stable following a period of reactive repairs in 2024. While the car has faced mechanical failures previously, the lack of advisories in the last two annual tests indicates that the current owner is addressing identified defects before they escalate into recurring MOT test failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 26,343 miles in June 2019 to 45,060 miles in June 2026. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long intervals between drives can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion, which aligns with the brake pitting noted in the history. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front drive assembly, as the 2024 failure highlighted split boots on both the nearside and offside constant velocity joints. While these were clearly replaced to pass the subsequent test, checking for grease leakage or torn rubber is vital to ensure the repair was thorough. Additionally, the history of recurring tyre wear on the edges in 2022 and 2023 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified against the current state of the tyres.
