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 presents a mixed maintenance profile with a trend of recurring minor mechanical failures that require attention. While the most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 64,918 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed that same day due to incorrect headlamp aim and issues with the front brake discs and rear brake hoses. These specific advisories regarding pitted brake discs and deteriorating brake hoses suggest that while the car is technically roadworthy, certain consumable components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for a 2004 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,951 miles per year. The recorded distance has grown steadily from 48,488 miles in October 2017 to 64,918 miles in December 2025. This low annual mileage can sometimes lead to component degradation from inactivity, such as the deterioration seen in the brake hoses and the pitted condition of the brake discs. The consistency in the testing dates suggests a regular annual inspection routine, even if the vehicle is not driven frequently. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and lighting during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a persistent pattern of issues with headlamp aim and lens clarity dating back to 2017, alongside recurring faults with brake hoses and pads. The tester flagged deteriorating rear brake hoses in the December 2025 test, which follows a failure in December 2022 involving excessively deteriorated front brake hoses. It is essential to verify that these hoses have been replaced and are not showing signs of swelling or cracking. Suspension components also warrant close scrutiny. The record shows a long-term trend of worn anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes, with faults appearing consistently from 2017 through 2022. Although these were not flagged in the most recent tests, the history of wear suggests the suspension bushings may be nearing the end of their functional life. Finally, check the condition of the tyres, as the vehicle has a history of cuts to the sidewalls and tread depth issues being flagged in 2021 and 2024.
