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 2026-05-14 confirmed the vehicle passed but highlighted multiple ongoing issues. Oil leaks, corroded brake pipes, suspension bush wear, and shock absorber oil misting were recorded. Underbody corrosion and a damaged offside rear tyre were also noted. These findings suggest persistent maintenance needs, particularly in braking and suspension systems. A recurring pattern of brake pipe corrosion, specifically on both nearside and offside rear and front pipes, has been documented since 2024. The 2025-05-02 failure included excessive wear on suspension bushes, which later reappeared in 2026. While some issues were addressed (e.g., brake pipes with swelled plastic coatings), others like suspension arm wear and shock absorber leaks persist. This indicates a worsening trend in critical safety components. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,205 miles over 14 years aligns with average annual usage (9,158 miles). However, the frequency of corrosion and wear suggests potential exposure to harsh conditions or insufficient maintenance.
