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 2026-06-01 shows the vehicle passed but with multiple defects listed, including a damaged windscreen, seat belt webbing, brake pipe corrosion, oil leak, and tyre wear. A separate failed MOT on the same date highlights similar issues, including headlamp aim and ABS faults. This suggests the vehicle has ongoing mechanical and safety concerns, with some issues resolved between tests and others persisting. Recurring defects include brake pipe corrosion , tyre wear , suspension component deterioration , and seat belt damage . These issues first appeared in 2023 and have reoccurred in subsequent tests, indicating potential long-term wear or insufficient maintenance. The offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover was severely deteriorated in 2023, 2025, and 2026, suggesting a systemic problem with this component. The condition trend shows no clear improvement . While some issues like headlamp aim and ABS faults were addressed between 2025 and 2026, others—such as brake pipe corrosion and tyre wear—remain unresolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 115,371 miles is typical for its 18-year age, implying average usage. However, the persistence of defects suggests either neglected maintenance or higher-than-expected wear in critical areas.
