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 currently presents a high risk due to a significant gap in testing history. The most recent assessment on 5 October 2023 resulted in a failure at 142,240 miles, flagging dangerous mechanical defects across multiple systems. The maintenance trajectory has deteriorated sharply from minor tyre issues in 2021 to severe braking and suspension failures in 2023. With no valid MOT since October 2023, the car is not legally roadworthy and requires immediate recommissioning. Mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age. Records show the odometer rose from 129,986 miles in October 2021 to 142,240 miles by October 2023, indicating an annual usage of approximately 6,000 miles. This steady progression supports the validity of the recorded mileage, though the lack of any entries for nearly three years is a major concern regarding current condition. A prospective buyer must prioritise a comprehensive inspection of the undercarriage and braking system. The tester flagged front and rear brake pads worn below 1.5mm alongside scored discs and an active ABS fault, suggesting the braking system was unsafe. Both rear wheel bearings were noted as rough, and front suspension arm bushes were excessively worn. Furthermore, the history of a fractured nearside rear coil spring in 2022 combined with the 2023 suspension advisories points to widespread component fatigue requiring expensive remediation.
