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 2025-06-13 recorded two key issues: nearside and offside rear brake pads wearing thin, and both front tyres worn close to tread wear indicators. These defects were classified under 1.1.13 (a) (ii) for brake pads and 5.2.3 (e) for tyre tread. The vehicle was deemed safe to drive but requires urgent attention to these components. A recurring pattern of tyre-related issues emerges from the MOT history. The 2024-06-17 failed MOT revealed both front tyres below the 1.6mm legal tread limit, while the nearside rear tyre had 2 nails and was worn on the edge. By 2025, front tyres were again near the legal limit, suggesting ongoing wear or potential misalignment. Brake pad wear was first noted in 2025, though no prior MOTs mention this defect, indicating it may be a newer concern. The trend shows some worsening in tyre conditions, particularly with front tyres repeatedly approaching or exceeding wear limits. However, the 2024-06-17 failed MOT included more severe issues (e.g., nails in tyres, tread below legal limits) that were not repeated in 2025, suggesting possible repairs or replacements. Brake pad wear is a new defect, which could signal increased usage or inadequate maintenance.
