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 passed on 30 December 2025 at 205,973 miles. This followed a failure for engine MIL inoperative and insufficient windscreen washer fluid. Previous tests revealed brake binding in 2023 and suspension ball joint play in 2022. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows inconsistent attention to critical systems. 205,973 miles over 14 years equates to 14,712 miles annually, which is high for its age. The MOT gap between November 2023 and December 2025 was 25 months, significantly beyond the annual requirement. This indicates possible neglect in regular safety inspections. Inspect the engine management system for proper MIL operation, rear brake binding, and offside front suspension ball joint wear. Check for corrosion on chassis components and ensure windscreen washer fluid levels and pump function. High mileage increases wear on brakes, suspension, and drivetrain; a thorough mechanical inspection is essential.
