Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2025 MOT failure reveals multiple critical safety and mechanical issues, indicating a significant deterioration in the vehicle’s condition. Key defects include fractured coil springs, excessive wear on suspension joints, oil leaks, and exhaust emissions exceeding limits. These problems suggest compromised structural integrity and potential safety risks, particularly with steering, suspension, and emissions systems. The 2025 failure occurred just 12 months before the current date, highlighting recent and unresolved concerns. Recurring issues from prior MOTs show a pattern of suspension and steering component failures. Fractured coil springs were first recorded in 2024, with repeated instances in 2025. Worn ball joints, leaking shocks, and corroded parts also reappeared, indicating ongoing mechanical stress. The exhaust system has consistently failed emissions tests, with carbon monoxide levels exceeding limits in both 2024 and 2025. These recurring defects point to systemic wear or neglect, rather than isolated incidents. The trend suggests a worsening condition, as the 2025 failure included more severe issues than the 2024 test.
