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 2025-11-27 showed the vehicle passed with 143,411 miles. Key issues included offside front and rear tyres worn close to legal limits, with edge wear. This mirrors recurring tyre-related defects in prior MOTs, suggesting ongoing wear patterns. No major safety-critical failures were recorded in this test, but the tyre condition indicates potential alignment or suspension issues requiring investigation. A pattern of tyre wear and minor mechanical defects has persisted across multiple MOTs. Since 2023, tyres have repeatedly been flagged for edge wear, cuts, or near-limit conditions. Steering rack play and shock absorber oil misting were noted in 2024 and 2023, while an exhaust leak and oil leak were also recorded. These issues show no clear improvement, with some defects reappearing in subsequent tests. The 2023-12-15 MOT failed due to similar tyre and suspension-related faults, indicating unresolved underlying problems. The vehicle’s mileage of 143,411 miles over 14 years equates to roughly 10,244 miles annually, which is typical for its age.
