Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of recurring brake and suspension issues. The most recent test in October 2025 at 27,561 miles passed with advisories for slight wear on both nearside and offside front lower suspension bushes. This represents a shift from the previous failure in 2024, suggesting that while immediate mechanical faults were addressed, the suspension is now beginning to show its age. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the October 2023 test at 13,592 miles and the September 2024 test at 20,657 miles, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in eleven months. This low annual usage often leads to accelerated corrosion on brake components due to lack of heat cycles, which aligns with the pitting and surface issues noted in the record. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension assembly. The record shows a history of fluctuating rear brakes and pitted discs back to 2023 and 2024, indicating the metal surfaces are prone to moisture damage or poor quality. The 2025 advisory regarding the lower suspension bushes suggests that the rubber components are cracking or degrading. You should check for play in the steering or uneven handling during a test drive to ensure these bushes have not progressed toward immediate replacement.
