High Risk of Serious Safety Defects 1. Most Recent MOT History The most recent entry (2021-11-17) passed, confirming that the vehicle's mechanical condition has remained acceptable at the time of inspection. However, the history reveals a critical pattern of wear and tear that has not been addressed. Recurring Mechanical Pattern The primary risk pattern is worsening wear on critical components , specifically the rear suspension and steering system . Rear Tyres: Both rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit, with a 5.2.3 (e) rating indicating they are approaching the limit. Suspension Arms: Both offside and nearside suspension arms show signs of wear ("worn but not resulting in excessive movement"), which is a known failure mode for these components. Bearings: There is a consistent pattern of bearing play (5.1.3) and noise (5.1.3), which suggests internal wear or loose bearings. Brakes: While the front disc is slightly distorted, the oil leak is described as "not excessive," suggesting the issue is likely surface or minor rather than a catastrophic failure. Trend Analysis The trend of the vehicle is worsening . Wear Pattern: The mileage (165,988 miles) is roughly 8,736 miles per year.
