Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle has a current roadworthiness status of FAILING , as the most recent test on 2026-06-18 was not passed, indicating that the 2022-2023 entry is not valid. This failure is a direct consequence of the severe, recurring faults recorded in the 2021-2022 period, which constitute a worsening trend rather than a temporary anomaly. The 2022-2023 test failed to pass, whereas the 2021-2022 entry passed, confirming that the 2022-2023 entry is not valid. The 2022-2023 test was a PASSED (140,971 miles) with a suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement, while the 2021-2022 entry failed with a brake pad less than 1.5 mm thick and a brake disc worn, pitted or scored. The mileage pattern reflects a stable trend over the past two years, with no rapid accumulation of miles that would suggest a sudden onset of failure. The 2021-2022 entry was recorded on 2021-06-04 at 135,759 miles, and the 2022-2023 entry was recorded on 2022-06-15 at 140,971 miles, with a gap of only 5,212 miles between the two tests. This gap suggests that the vehicle was not driven heavily or for extended periods during the 2021-2022 period, which would typically result in faster mileage accumulation. The 2022-2023 test was recorded on 2026-06-18 at 140,971 miles, which is approximately 7,832 miles per year. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on the brake systems and suspension components. The 2021-2022 entry failed due to brake pad and disc wear, pitting or scoring, and brake imbalance, which are critical structural failures that require immediate attention. The 2022-2023 test also indicates a worn suspension arm pin or bush, which is a significant structural concern. Given the history of these specific faults, the vehicle is not roadworthy and requires a thorough inspection of the brake discs, suspension bushes, and alignment work to ensure safety.
