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 2025-06-18 shows the vehicle passed but with a critical issue : the offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. A separate fail on the same date cited the same tyre and a parking brake efficiency below requirements. This suggests the tyre condition persisted despite prior warnings, and the parking brake system may require urgent attention. Recurring issues focus on the offside rear tyre , which has been flagged in multiple MOTs since 2023. In 2024, it was noted as “slightly damaged/cracking,” and in 2025, it was “worn close to legal limit.” This pattern indicates either ongoing wear from improper alignment, suspension issues, or storage-related degradation. The tyre’s condition may reflect inconsistent maintenance or underlying mechanical problems. The 2024-05-30 MOT revealed suspension component failures : excessive wear in the front suspension arm bush and rear ball joint. These were addressed by 2024-06-05, as the subsequent MOT passed. However, the 2025 parking brake failure suggests a new or unresolved issue, potentially linked to age-related component wear. No further suspension issues were recorded, but this does not rule out hidden damage.
