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 April 2026 shows the car passed but with an offside front tyre worn close to legal limit on the inner edge. This represents the latest safety concern that needs immediate attention. A clear pattern emerges from the MOT history showing repeated tyre wear issues on both sides of the front axle. The 2023 failure included nearside front tyre problems, while the 2026 pass involved offside front tyre concerns. This suggests ongoing alignment or suspension problems affecting tyre life. The headlamp alignment issues from February 2023 appear to have been resolved, as no lighting defects appeared in subsequent tests. However, the persistent tyre wear pattern remains problematic and indicates potential underlying mechanical issues. The condition trend shows deterioration in tyre management over time. While the car passed most recent tests, the recurring tyre wear warnings suggest the vehicle's roadworthiness regarding tyres is becoming less reliable. The mileage of 96,510 miles over ten years averages 9,651 miles annually, which is typical for this age group.
