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 passed its most recent MOT in March 2026, but it carries a persistent advisory for an oil leak. There is a recurring pattern of fluid leaks and brake disc corrosion. Oil leaks were noted in 2022 and remain present in the latest 2026 report. Similarly, brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in 2022 and again in 2025. The overall condition trend appears stable but indicates that these specific issues are not being fully resolved. While the defects have not been severe enough to cause an MOT failure, they are persistent. The mileage is low for a seventeen-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,139 miles per year. This low usage, combined with the 2022 records of perishing tyres and pitted brake discs, suggests the vehicle may have experienced long periods of standing. A buyer should first inspect the engine bay and underside to identify the source and severity of the oil leak. You should also check the current state of the brake discs for surface corrosion or scoring.
