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

The 2026-06-18 test at 125,050 miles was passed, indicating the vehicle currently meets the 100% requirement. However, the maintenance trend is clearly worsening in the last two tests, where both the 2025-03-05 and 2026-03-04 failures were scheduled for 125,045 miles, suggesting a consistent acceleration of wear that has not been corrected. This rapid mileage accumulation in the final two years implies that basic upkeep was skipped during the ownership period, leading to significant degradation of critical components. The 2026-03-13 test revealed major corrosion on the rear coil spring and a battery that is insecure, which are critical structural issues that will likely fail under load. The 2026-03-04 failure specifically flagged an exhaust leak in the rear box and a major Lambda reading after the second fast idle, both of which are indicative of severe internal combustion system failure. The 2025-03-05 test further confirmed these conditions, noting that the braking system requires adjustment or repair due to an imbalanced front brake disc. These recurring faults suggest that the vehicle has been maintained with a high risk of catastrophic failure in the near future. A buyer must inspect the car immediately to address the battery, coil spring, and exhaust leaks, as well as perform a full brake system check to verify the front disc alignment and balance. The rear coil spring, which is corroded in both tests, must be evaluated for corrosion levels and potential need for replacement. The rear brake disc, which has pitted or scored, must be checked for structural integrity and wear, as this condition is not considered a minor issue but a serious one. The front brake disc, which is also worn and scored, requires a detailed inspection to ensure it is not seriously weakened and is properly balanced. Additionally, the braking system must be adjusted to meet the imbalanced requirements noted in the 2025-03-05 test, as the current condition suggests the system is not ready for normal use.
