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 in February 2026 was a pass, but it noted a corroded rear axle and a worn offside front tyre. There is a clear pattern of worsening corrosion on the vehicle. In February 2024, it failed a test due to excessive corrosion on an offside rear suspension component mounting. This issue has persisted and progressed, with the 2025 MOT noting a rusty rear axle and the 2026 MOT noting a corroded rear axle. Other issues identified in the history include wear on the tyres and suspension components. The 2023 MOT noted a tyre perishing, while the 2025 and 2026 tests both recorded worn tyres. There has also been wear on the suspension, including oil misting on a shock absorber in 2023 and a worn bush in 2024. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, covering only about 71,378 miles in 17 years. This low usage can be a double-edged sword; while it may mean less wear on the engine, it can also lead to components like tyres perishing or increased corrosion if the car has been standing for long periods. The overall trend of the vehicle's condition looks to be worsening, particularly regarding the rear axle.
