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 2026-04-02 shows the vehicle failed due to a Nearside Front Position lamp not working , alongside recurring issues from previous tests. These include damaged mirrors, defective side repeater lenses, and a rear brake disc worn but not excessively. The same issues were noted in the earlier 2026-04-02 passed MOT , suggesting unresolved faults. Recurring mechanical patterns include mirror damage (nearside and offside), defective side repeater lenses , and brake disc wear . The 2024 MOT also highlighted steering rack play , thin brake pads , and pitted brake discs , which were not mentioned in the 2026 test. This suggests some repairs may have been addressed, but mirror and lighting issues persist. The trend shows stability in critical faults —brake disc wear remains non-serious, and no new major issues were added since 2024. However, the new lamp failure in 2026 indicates potential electrical or wiring problems that could worsen. The vehicle’s high mileage (17,463 miles/year) for its age raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables, suspension, and braking systems, though no severe damage was recorded. The mileage suggests heavy use over nine years, which aligns with the recurring minor faults.
