Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-15 recorded a pass, but both front tyres showed slight damage or perishing. This mirrors issues from earlier MOTs, including 2025-04-18 (pass) and 2024-04-18 (pass), where front tyres were flagged. A 2024-04-18 failure included a rear tyre with a deep cut, and a 2025-04-18 failure listed wiper and side repeater faults. These recurring tyre issues suggest a pattern of rubber degradation, possibly linked to age, storage, or uneven wear. The vehicle’s low mileage (3,942 miles annually) implies lighter use or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate tyre perishing and component stiffness. However, the MOT history shows no major mechanical failures beyond tyres and minor electrical issues. The 2025-04-18 failure included a non-functional nearside side repeater and wiper, which were resolved by 2026-04-15. This indicates some repairs were made, but the persistent tyre problems remain unresolved. The trend for critical issues appears stable, with no escalation in severity. However, the repeated tyre damage raises concerns about ongoing maintenance.
