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 currently holds a PASSED status on its most recent MOT entry from 2025, indicating that the mechanical condition has remained stable and within acceptable limits for the current test date of 2026. While the 2025 record was passed, the 2024 record shows a failure in parking brake efficiency and coil spring issues, suggesting that the maintenance history has not been kept up to date and that the car has experienced a period of accelerated wear or neglect. The mileage pattern is characterised by a significant gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where the vehicle was tested on 59,058 miles in December 2023 and failed in December 2024 on 60,550 miles. This creates a notable accumulation of miles between the two most recent assessments, which could indicate that the car has been driven for a substantial period without regular servicing, potentially leading to the development of new wear points or the failure of previously maintained components. Given the recurring faults such as cracked tyres, cracked coil springs, and failed brakes, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems. The history indicates a risk of structural integrity issues, particularly with the cracked coil springs and cracked tyres, which may require immediate replacement.
