Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle has just failed its most recent MOT in May 2026 with a significant number of defects. This failure is particularly concerning because it includes a wide range of safety-critical issues, including an ABS fault, a fractured rear coil spring, and a corroded brake pipe. There is a clear and worsening trend regarding structural corrosion. In March 2025, the vehicle failed due to significant corrosion on the X member mount and chassis leg. By May 2026, it failed again for excessive corrosion on a front suspension mounting that reduced structural strength, alongside general underside corrosion. This indicates that the chassis is deteriorating rapidly. Mechanical wear is also a recurring issue. The history shows a pattern of failures related to steering and suspension, specifically with ball joints, track rod ends, and wheel bearings. The braking system is unstable, with recorded issues ranging from imbalanced brakes and thin pads in 2023 to fluctuating service brakes and corroded pipes in 2026. The mileage is typical for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,063 miles per year.
