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 is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent recorded test in November 2022 at 136,255 miles passed, it flagged play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and a worn offside front tyre. This follows a period where suspension components and tyres were repeatedly addressed only after failing inspections, suggesting that the owner tends to address faults once they reach a legal threshold rather than replacing them during routine service intervals. At 136,255 miles over 15 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a premium SUV of this age. However, there is a significant gap in the record, with no recorded MOT data available since November 2022. Given the current date in June 2026, the vehicle has operated for over three years without an official safety check. This extended interval increases the likelihood that mechanical issues, particularly regarding rubber-based components and braking systems, have deteriorated significantly since the last 2022 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows recurring worn bushes on both lower control arms and a fractured coil spring noted in 2021. The persistent oil leaks from the sump and engine area documented between 2020 and 2021 indicate a long-term weeping issue that requires monitoring for depth-related damage. Additionally, the recurring reports of thin rear brake pads and multiple worn tyres suggest that the braking system and fitment may be nearing the end of their service life, necessitating immediate budget for maintenance.
