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 29 May 2026 passed with advisories on all four tyres, but the previous day’s failure concerning the nearside front drive shaft boot and track rod end had been resolved. Tyre wear and cracking issues persisted across both 2026 tests, indicating ongoing neglect of basic maintenance. While the car is currently roadworthy, these advisories highlight immediate concerns. Annual mileage accumulation since 2013 averages 11,500 miles per year, consistent with typical usage. The MOT records show no gaps between tests, with steady progression from 122,545 miles in May 2023 to 149,701 miles today. However, the 2025 to 2026 period saw a 10,000-mile increase, reflecting regular driving without unusual spikes. A buyer must inspect the front suspension bushes (flagged in 2023 and 2024), front brake discs (noted in 2023), brake pads (worn thin in 2023 and 2024), brake hoses (deteriorated in 2025), and all four tyres for cracking and tread depth. The recently repaired drive shaft boot and track rod end require verification of their current condition. These components show recurring issues that could escalate without prompt attention.
