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 2026-05-08 shows the vehicle passed with minor issues: an oil leak (not excessive), inoperative indicators, and a damaged windscreen. However, a failed MOT on the same day reveals similar concerns, including non-working position lamps, recut tyres, and inoperative indicators. These recurring defects suggest ongoing electrical and tyre-related problems, with no clear resolution between tests. A pattern of repeated windscreen damage (not affecting visibility) and indicator failures appears in multiple MOTs since 2025. The 2025-05-06 failed test also highlighted brake pads below 1.5mm (a critical safety risk) and tyre damage/cracking , which were not addressed in subsequent tests. This indicates potential neglect or unresolved repairs, raising concerns about maintenance quality. The condition trend shows no significant improvement . Issues like oil leaks, indicator faults, and tyre wear persist, while the 2025-05-06 failure included severe brake pad wear—a major safety hazard. The 2026 MOTs do not confirm repairs, suggesting the vehicle may not have been properly maintained. At 127,860 miles, the vehicle has averaged ~6,393 miles annually, which is typical for its 20-year age .
