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 2026-05-22 passed with several noted issues. The primary risk pattern revolves around tyre condition and corrosion. The recent pass noted cuts on both front tyres and cracking or perishing on the offside rear tyre. There is also evidence of rear sub-frame corrosion and surface corrosion on the underside of the rear. The trend in the MOT history is mixed. While the most recent result passed, the previous failure indicated issues with suspension components and brake wear, and the MOT before that showed a rear differential leak. This suggests the vehicle has experienced mechanical wear over time, but the most recent inspection addressed some of these points. The mileage of 162,980 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests typical wear for a vehicle with approximately 9,054 miles per year. This level of mileage indicates regular use, which is consistent with the mechanical wear noted in the history, particularly concerning suspension components and brake wear. A buyer should immediately inspect the condition of all four tyres, paying close attention to the offside rear tyre that was noted as slightly damaged or cracking.
