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 shows signs of a worsening maintenance trend characterized by frequent failures and recurring mechanical issues. While the most recent test on 2 May 2026 at 126,522 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed just five days prior on 27 April 2026 due to an insecure battery and worn tyres. The history from 2025 onwards indicates a pattern of neglect regarding consumables and minor repairs, as the tester repeatedly flagged worn tyres, cracking rubber, and insecure battery components across multiple tests. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 12,652 miles per year. The data shows a significant increase in usage over the last three years. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 26,778 miles, but the jump from May 2023 to May 2024 shows a substantial increase of over 10,000 miles in a single year. This high-mileage usage correlates with the increased frequency of mechanical advisories and failures seen in the most recent inspection cycles. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and chassis components. The record shows a persistent issue with the rear axle bushes, which were flagged as slightly worn in April 2025 and progressed to a worn sub-frame pin or bush by May 2026. The April 2025 failure also highlighted an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and imbalanced rear brakes, suggesting that the suspension system is nearing the end of its service life. Further attention should be paid to the braking system and exhaust. The April 2025 test identified pitted and scored front brake discs, and the May 2023 record noted an excessively corroded exhaust. Given the high mileage and the history of exhaust emissions exceeding limits in April 2025, the integrity of the emissions system and the remaining life of the brake components should be verified. The recurring issues with tyre condition and cracking suggest that previous owners have not been proactive with basic maintenance.
