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 on 19 March 2025 shows a pass, but the vehicle exhibits a worsening trend regarding consumable wear. While the vehicle passed after failing the previous day for headlamp issues, the tester flagged multiple advisories concerning tyre condition. Specifically, the nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear tyres were all noted as being worn close to the legal limit or showing signs of perishing and cracking. This follows a pattern of recurring tyre advisories dating back to January 2024. The vehicle has covered 99,808 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 7,129 miles per year. This usage level is consistent with typical age-related patterns. The MOT records provided span from January 2021 to March 2025, showing relatively consistent annual testing, though there are gaps in recorded mileage between specific test dates that prevent a precise calculation of recent distance travelled. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre tread and sidewall integrity across all four corners due to the repeated warnings of wear and perishing. The history also indicates a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot in January 2024, which requires verification to ensure the component was replaced and the joint is currently secure. Furthermore, the January 2024 advisory regarding a damaged nearside front Macpherson strut top mounting suggests potential suspension noise or play that should be checked. The 2022 records highlighted issues with rear brake disc corrosion and brake pipes covered in grease, which prevented a clear inspection of the piping. Although these were not flagged in the 2025 test, the presence of grease on brake lines can be used to mask corrosion. A thorough check of the braking system, including the condition of the brake pipes and the integrity of the rear discs, is necessary to ensure no underlying structural or mechanical degradation has progressed. editorial_insight: buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
