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 has a current MOT as of May 2026, but it only passed after failing on a split CV boot. There are remaining advisories regarding pitted rear brake discs and a worn anti-roll bar linkage, which suggests that maintenance is being handled reactively rather than preventatively. The most significant risk is a documented pattern of severe corrosion. The 2025 history reveals major failures, including a loss of structural rigidity on the offside rear, excessively corroded brake pipes, and corroded Macpherson struts. While these were addressed to achieve a pass, the record specifically mentions welding repairs that prevented a full inspection, which is a concern regarding the quality and extent of the work carried out. The condition trend is worrying. After a relatively clean 2024 test, the car suffered a significant collapse in structural and braking integrity in 2025. While it is currently roadworthy, the recurring issues with corrosion and worn suspension components suggest the vehicle is in a state of decline. The mileage is typical for its age, meaning general wear on the drivetrain and consumables is expected, but the structural history is the primary concern. A buyer must prioritize a thorough underbody inspection.
