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 shows a stable maintenance trend following a recent period of mechanical attention. The most recent MOT test on 19 September 2025 at 130,356 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure just eight days prior on 11 September 2025 at 130,333 miles. That failure identified worn front tyres with uneven inner edge wear and an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. The successful retest indicates these specific components were replaced or repaired, resolving the immediate mechanical concerns. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,851 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, climbing from 51,736 miles in November 2018 to the current 130,356 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity. The progression from 83,699 miles in February 2021 to 103,366 miles in February 2022, and subsequently to 122,339 miles in November 2024, demonstrates a predictable and typical driving pattern for a long-distance commuter or regular user. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows recurring advisories regarding brake pad wear, specifically noting thin offside front pads in November 2024 and rear pads in February 2023. The recent suspension ball joint failure also suggests that other steering and suspension components, such as bushes or control arms, may be nearing the end of their service life due to the vehicle's mileage. The uneven tyre wear noted in the September 2025 failure is a specific technical indicator to investigate. While the tyres were replaced to pass the test, the inner edge wear on both front tyres often points to underlying alignment issues or worn suspension geometry. I recommend a thorough check of the wheel alignment and a visual inspection of the front suspension assembly to ensure the recent ball joint replacement has fully corrected any play in the steering components.
