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 2025-09-18 shows a mixed outcome, with the vehicle passing but carrying multiple advisories. Key issues included a damaged windscreen (not affecting visibility), a non-excessive oil leak, and a slightly distorted offside front road wheel. A separate failure on the same date highlighted additional concerns: an ineffective offside windscreen wiper, a registration plate lamp failure, and tyres near or below legal limits. These issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly with tyres and lighting systems. Recurring mechanical patterns include windscreen damage, brake component wear, and tyre tread issues. Since 2023, the vehicle has repeatedly failed for brake disc pitting, thin brake pads, and tyres approaching or exceeding wear limits. The offside front road wheel has also shown distortion in multiple MOTs, indicating potential alignment or suspension concerns. While some issues (e.g., oil leaks) are described as non-excessive, their persistence raises questions about long-term reliability. The trend shows no clear improvement. The 2025-09-18 failure included more defects than the 2024-09-04 failure, despite similar mileage.
