Mechanical Assessment

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

The car passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-17 at 199,295 miles — just four months ago. That test flagged three live defects: nearside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit, nearside front tyre showing cracking/perishing, and slight play in the nearside rear wheel bearing. These are not new issues. The same wheel bearing fault appeared in both the 2024-04-05 and 2026-02-16 tests — meaning it’s persisted for over two years. The tyre wear and degradation have also recurred across the last two MOTs. Crucially, the 2026-02-16 test failed for those exact same tyre and bearing faults — plus a non-working windscreen washer — before being retested and passed the next day. This suggests the defects were addressed minimally (e.g., washer fixed, tyres possibly rotated or temporarily cleaned) rather than fully resolved. The trend is worsening. A previously clean 2023-04-01 test was followed by a failure that same day for fractured offside rear coil spring and dangerously thin brake pads — serious safety items. Since then, the wheel bearing issue has remained uncorrected, and tyre condition has deteriorated further.
