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 2026-05-01 showed the vehicle passed but highlighted multiple tyre defects. Offside Rear Tyre had cracking and perishing tread and sidewall, while Nearside Rear Tyre had a large cut on the outer sidewall. Both front tyres showed play in the steering rack inner joint. All four alloy wheels had slight damage to outer rims. These issues indicate ongoing tyre wear and potential suspension component degradation. Recurring defects over the past two years include tyre perishing, cuts, and wear. Tyres consistently failed due to age-related cracking, cuts, or insufficient tread depth. The offside front steering rack inner joint showed play in 2026 and 2024, suggesting a persistent mechanical issue. The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunctioned in 2026 and 2025, while headlamps and wiper blades also failed repeatedly. These patterns point to aging components and possible neglect in maintenance.
