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, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 120,736 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a product on the headlamp lens. This represents a significant improvement compared to the 2023 failure, where the car failed multiple critical points including an engine management light fault and various lighting defects. While the current status is stable, the history shows a tendency to address faults only upon inspection failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,355 miles per year over its 19-year life. There is a notable three-year gap in records between October 2019 and September 2022, during which the car covered only 3,563 miles. Since that period, usage has increased, covering over 31,000 miles in the last four years. This shift in usage suggests the vehicle is being used more frequently recently, which often leads to more rapid wear on rubber components and mechanical assemblies. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension. The record shows recurring issues with the parking brake, which failed efficiency tests in 2018 and 2022, and a noted brake imbalance as early as 2016. The brake discs were also flagged as worn and pitted in 2022, requiring a check of current thickness. Furthermore, front suspension arm rubber bushes were noted as deteriorated in 2015; given the age of the vehicle, these should be inspected for cracking or perished rubber to ensure steering precision and structural integrity are not compromised.
