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 following a pass in the October 2025 test at 4,210 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in quality control following a significant failure in August 2025. While the car remained clean through 2023 and 2024, the most recent testing period revealed multiple mechanical and assembly errors that required immediate rectification, suggesting a lack of attention to detail during the service work prior to the final pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 700 miles per year. The jump from 3,870 miles in July 2024 to 4,202 miles in August 2025 indicates the car sits stationary for long periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, long periods of inactivity often lead to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid degradation, which may be contributing to the coolant leak detected on the offside rear pump. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the cooling system and exhaust assembly, as the offside rear exhaust was flagged as noisy across two separate test cycles. The previous failure for a rear brake pad incorrectly mounted pin warrants a physical check of the braking hardware to ensure all components are now properly secured and not binding. Additionally, the historical error regarding a tyre fitted in the wrong direction suggests poor workmanship standards, necessitating a close look of wheel nut torques and tyre specifications.
