The vehicle's current roadworthiness is in question, as the most recent MOT test on 2026-05-22 failed at 28,347 miles, whereas the previous test on 2025-05-23 passed at 18,956 miles. This indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical condition since the 2025 test, with the current date being 5 years later. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and windscreen washer fluid levels as defects, suggesting that the braking and suspension systems are not in optimal condition for safe operation. The mileage pattern reveals a notable gap between the most recent test and the current date, with the vehicle only having passed the MOT 5 years ago. While the lower mileage suggests potential for lighter use or extended standing, the rapid accumulation of miles since the previous test points to a lack of regular maintenance. The failure of the windscreen washer and the binding brakes indicate that basic upkeep was skipped, and the vehicle is now carrying a high risk of failure under current driving conditions. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear immediately upon arrival. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and insufficient washer fluid, which are critical components for safety. The vehicle is not in good shape for safe driving and requires professional assessment for suspension bushings, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The buyer must verify that the brakes are not binding and that the washer fluid is sufficient before proceeding.
