Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2024‑09‑02 MOT at 180,196 miles marks the vehicle as failed and therefore not roadworthy. The repeated failures on structural subframes, exhaust Lambda, and binding rear brakes show a worsening trend rather than stability or improvement. With a recorded mileage of 180,196 at 21 years of age, the average annual usage of 8,581 miles is typical, but the jump from 176,855 miles in September 2023 to 180,196 miles in September 2024 represents an increase of 3,341 miles in just over a year, indicating intensified use or reduced maintenance. A buyer should therefore examine the near‑side and off‑side sub‑frame welds for severe corrosion, test the rear brake calipers for binding, verify the parking brake operates on both sides, inspect the rear exhaust mounting and Lambda sensor reading, and check the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers for oil leakage or fracture. The history of recurring rust and brake faults suggests that these components may be close to failure and merit close scrutiny.
