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 2025-10-20 recorded a pass, but several critical issues were noted. Brake discs on both front wheels showed wear, with the offside disc pitted or scored. Coil springs on the nearside rear and offside front were corroded, and tyres on both rear and front wheels were worn close to legal limits. The rear axle also showed corrosion. These defects suggest ongoing wear and potential safety risks. A prior MOT on 2025-10-14, just six days earlier, resulted in a fail. It listed identical brake disc and coil spring issues, plus a power steering pump leak. The proximity of these two MOTs indicates the vehicle may have been driven with unresolved problems, raising concerns about maintenance history. The power steering leak, in particular, is a serious safety hazard requiring immediate attention. Recurring defects include tyre wear, brake disc deterioration, and corrosion on suspension components.
