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 maintenance history shows a worsening trend in mechanical upkeep, evidenced by a significant failure in April 2024 at 128,416 miles. While it passed its most recent test in May 2024 at 128,448 miles, the record reveals several recurring advisories regarding brake corrosion and tyre wear. The transition from a clean 2022 record to multiple failures in 2024 suggests that the vehicle's suspension and braking systems are entering a period of accelerated deterioration. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,760 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 59,897 miles in 2014 to 128,448 miles in 2024. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the frequency of failures in the last four years suggests the vehicle has transitioned from light use into a phase of more intensive mechanical wear. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering components. The record shows a persistent pattern of worn ball joints, deteriorated anti-roll bar linkages, and shock absorber issues, including a serious fluid leak noted in April 2024. The recurring presence of pitted and scored brake discs across multiple years, alongside instances of binding calipers, indicates that the braking system requires close scrutiny for both component thickness and caliper functionality. Further attention should be directed toward the drivetrain and lighting. The history highlights several issues with CV boots and gearbox mountings, which can lead to more expensive repairs if left unaddressed. Given the history of incorrect indicator colours and inoperative registration lamps, a full electrical check is necessary to ensure all lighting and signal components are compliant and functioning correctly.
