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 2026-01-16 recorded a pass but noted the offside front outer tyre worn close to the legal limit and play in the nearside front steering rack inner joint. A separate entry on the same date shows a fail due to an excessive oil leak from the engine and the same steering rack issue. This suggests unresolved mechanical concerns, with the oil leak worsening since a 2024 MOT that noted a non-excessive leak. Recurring issues include steering rack inner joint play , first recorded in 2025 and persisting through 2026. This indicates a potential structural or wear problem in the steering system, which could compromise handling and safety. Tyre wear near the legal limit and wheel distortions (noted in 2024) also appear intermittently, pointing to possible alignment or suspension misalignment. The trend shows worsening mechanical risks. The oil leak escalated from "not excessive" in 2024 to "excessive" in 2026, while steering rack issues have remained unresolved. Tyre and wheel defects, though not chronic, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Mileage of 115,775 miles over 17 years aligns with typical usage (approx.
