Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle presents a significant risk based on its most recent MOT history. As of June 2026, the last recorded test in October 2025 resulted in a failure with no subsequent pass shown. This means the car is currently not legally roadworthy without repairs and retesting. The condition trend is clearly worsening. While the 2023 and 2024 tests showed manageable issues like worn tyres, brake hoses, and lights, the 2025 inspection revealed severe structural and safety defects. The most critical concern is the excessive corrosion on the rear suspension mounting areas. Both nearside and offside rear sills are holed next to the suspension mounts, significantly reducing structural strength. This is a serious safety hazard that often renders a vehicle uneconomical to repair. Suspension wear has also escalated. The 2025 report cites excessively worn anti-roll bar linkages, suspension arm bushes, and reduced damping effect on corroded rear shock absorbers.
