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 2026-02-24 shows the vehicle passed with minor issues: a TPMS light illuminated, a rear outer lamp malfunctioning, a loose mirror, and a slightly insecure battery. These are non-critical but indicate ongoing electrical or mechanical maintenance needs. The same mileage (32,034) as the prior MOT suggests the vehicle has not been driven significantly since 2025, raising questions about potential under-use or storage. A critical failure in the 2025-01-16 MOT revealed rear inner brake pads less than 1.5mm thick, with braking material broken free. This was a major safety risk and likely required immediate repair. The subsequent 2025-01-17 MOT at the same mileage passed, implying the issue was addressed, but the recurrence of brake disc wear (pitted, corroded, or lipped) in earlier MOTs (2024–2022) suggests gradual deterioration. Brake components show a consistent pattern of minor wear but no severe damage. The TPMS light has appeared in every MOT since 2025, indicating a persistent fault. This could stem from a faulty sensor, low tyre pressure, or electrical issues. While not immediately dangerous, it requires diagnosis to prevent future complications.
