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 2026-02-03 showed the vehicle passed, but noted nearside front brake hose corrosion and surface corrosion under the vehicle. These issues were also flagged in earlier tests, indicating persistent corrosion risks. The 2025-01-30 MOT included a fail for severe tyre cuts and floor rigger corrosion, while a separate pass on the same date highlighted similar surface corrosion. This suggests ongoing underbody and tyre vulnerabilities. Corrosion has been a recurring issue since 2024, with surface rust on floor riggers, sub-frames, and underbody components. The 2024-01-31 fail specifically cited a seriously weakened offside front sub-frame, raising concerns about structural integrity. While later tests show some improvement, corrosion remains a significant risk, particularly in areas exposed to road salt or moisture. The vehicle’s low mileage (approx. 3,875 miles annually) suggests either light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and degrade rubber components. However, the age of the vehicle (23 years) means even low mileage cannot fully offset wear on seals, hoses, and suspension parts.
