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 most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 57,421 miles resulted in a clean PASS despite several notable issues flagged. These included deteriorating registration plates, front brake pads wearing thin, and slight play in the front top mounts. The front brakes were imbalanced but just met requirements, indicating the braking system requires immediate repair or adjustment. The low annual mileage of approximately 3,589 miles suggests the car has seen minimal use and likely spent considerable time stationary, which can cause issues with static components. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre wear on all four corners, with edges showing excessive wear in 2023 and 2025. This suggests either neglected tyre rotations or a persistent alignment problem. The 2024 test experienced a headlamp failure, which was rectified before the subsequent PASS. Prospective buyers should arrange a pre-purchase inspection to verify the brake pad thickness and assess the brake imbalance. A mechanic should check the suspension top mounts for excessive play and inspect the static corrosion levels given the vehicle's age and low mileage.
