The most recent MOT on 2026-04-18 identified several tyre-related issues, including nearside front and offside rear tyres showing wear close to the legal limit and perishing or cracking. The rear brake pads were also noted as wearing thin. These findings suggest ongoing tyre wear, which could indicate uneven tread distribution, improper inflation, or alignment issues. The brake pad condition requires monitoring, as thin pads may compromise stopping power. The 2025 MOT entries reveal a pattern of tyre wear, with front tyres nearing the legal limit in 2025-01-29 and a windscreen damage report in 2025-04-29. While the windscreen issue was minor, the recurring tyre wear highlights a consistent trend of component degradation. No major defects were recorded beyond these items, and the 2026 MOT passed, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy. However, the accumulation of tyre and brake-related advisories suggests potential maintenance needs. The vehicle’s mileage of 39,203 miles over four years aligns with typical usage, averaging ~9,800 miles annually. This suggests neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use.
