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 test in October 2025 resulted in a clean pass at 46,650 miles, indicating that the previous failures were rectified. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the tester identifying a damaged non-obligatory mirror and minor corrosion on the front sub-frame, which is not severely weakened. The corrosion issue flagged in 2025 aligns with the 2024 and 2023 records, suggesting a persistent but manageable rust problem requiring ongoing monitoring. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage of approximately 2,221 miles over 21 years indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and brake systems. However, the prolonged periods of inactivity increase the risk of tyre perishing and corrosion. The 2024 and 2023 records show recurring issues with tyre cuts, headlamp aim problems, and power steering leaks, which are common in older vehicles left unused. A potential buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Focus on the front sub-frame and rear brake pipe corrosion, checking for any structural weakness or potential failure points. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of age-related stiffness or damage. Inspect the tyre treads for further cuts, perishing, or uneven wear, and verify the brake discs for corrosion. Additionally, test the windscreen wipers and headlamps to confirm the cleaning and alignment issues have been permanently resolved.
