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 from December 2025 shows multiple concerning defects despite passing. Front brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored, and an offside front tyre is close to the legal limit. Both anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers are severely deteriorated. Several suspension components show wear patterns across multiple tests. The nearside front upper Macpherson strut mounting was damaged in October 2023, and rear suspension arm pins or bushes now show wear. These issues suggest ongoing deterioration in the front suspension system. The vehicle failed its MOT in October 2023 due to insufficient brake pedal reserve travel, though it passed the following day after repairs. This indicates serious brake system concerns that required immediate attention. With 50,424 miles over 21 years, this represents very low annual usage at approximately 2,401 miles per year. Low mileage can indicate light use but also suggests potential problems from long periods of standing, which may explain some of the rubber component deterioration seen in the suspension joints.
