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's overall roadworthiness is currently non-compliant, as the MOT record shows a clear progression from a passing inspection in late 2025 to a failed test in December 2024. This indicates that the vehicle has not maintained its safety standards since the 2025 test, with the most recent assessment occurring in June 2026. The maintenance trend is deteriorating, as evidenced by the failure of the rear suspension arm in December 2024, which was previously passing in June 2025. The mileage accumulation is uneven and inconsistent, reflecting a lack of consistent upkeep. The vehicle began the year with 106,884 miles, which is approximately 7,126 miles per year and aligns with its age. However, this high mileage is not sustained; it drops to 106,152 miles in December 2024, suggesting that the vehicle was not driven consistently throughout the year. This gap in mileage means that the car has experienced significant wear on specific components over time, particularly on the front and rear suspension, which are critical areas for inspection. Based on the recurring faults and structural risks identified, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to address the suspension bushings, brake discs, and corrosion on the sub-frame. The history reveals multiple failed tests involving the rear suspension arm, coil springs, and sub-frame, indicating that these components have not been properly maintained and may no longer meet the strength and stiffness requirements for safe operation. Additionally, the presence of structural rust on the fuel pipe and exhaust system suggests that the vehicle has not been adequately cared for, leaving the drivetrain vulnerable to failure under normal driving conditions.
