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 presents a mixed picture of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 141,444 miles resulted in a clean pass, yet it flagged a worn front inner suspension arm pin and a defective central exhaust mount. These defects indicate a maintenance backlog rather than an immediate safety risk, suggesting the previous owner prioritised essential repairs over preventative work. The 2023 September test revealed a cracked rear coil spring, which would have required immediate replacement, alongside two failing front tyres. The tyre issues have since been rectified, but the suspension and exhaust components demand immediate attention. The 2024 test showed a clean bill, implying that the defects were addressed promptly. Overall, the vehicle is currently road legal, but the recurring suspension and exhaust problems suggest inconsistent maintenance. A buyer should conduct a thorough mechanical inspection, focusing on the front suspension arms, exhaust mounting points, and the condition of the rear coil spring. Additionally, checking the tyre tread depth and overall condition is essential to ensure no further defects are present.
