Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026-01-15 MOT result shows the vehicle failed due to split near‑side and off‑side front drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boots, rendering it not roadworthy. The repeated CV joint failures in 2025 and 2026 indicate a worsening maintenance trend rather than stability or improvement. With 80,132 miles recorded at 15 years old, the average annual mileage is 5,342 miles, but the data show a marked acceleration after 2023, with the mileage rising from 46,342 miles in February 2023 to 80,132 miles by January 2026, a gain of 33,790 miles in just over three years, or roughly 11,263 miles per year. A buyer should therefore inspect the front drive‑shaft CV boots for cracks or insecure clamps, examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for oil leakage or worn components, verify that the rear brake pads meet the 1.5 mm thickness requirement, check tyre tread depth and edge wear on the near‑side front tyre, and look for any structural rust or corrosion around the under‑trays and chassis.
