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 is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 28 May 2026 at 38,073 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a significant failure in May 2025. While the most recent test identified only a deteriorated rear registration plate, previous records reveal a period of mechanical neglect that was addressed, indicating that the critical suspension faults were subsequently rectified by the owner or technician. At approximately eight years old, the recorded mileage of 38,073 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging roughly 4,760 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with intervals of approximately 3,500 miles recorded between the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light use of drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components like suspension bushings if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension geometry. The history shows a clear progression of wear on lower suspension arm pins and bushes, which were flagged as worn in 2024 and reached a failure state in 2025. Despite the recent pass, the recurring nature of these faults suggests a potential alignment issue or premature wear of the rubber ducting. Additionally, the record notes repeated inner tyre wear on both front axles in 2023 and rear axles in 2025. This necessitates a check of the wheel alignment and an inspection of current tyres for uneven tread patterns to prevent premature replacement of new rubber.
