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

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding its steering and suspension components. While the most recent test on 9 June 2026 at 74,290 miles resulted in a pass, this followed a failure just one week prior. The June 2026 failure highlighted significant issues including a split offside front CV boot and excessive play in the offside front track rod end. The subsequent pass still carries an advisory for slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint, suggesting that while immediate failures were rectified, the front-end geometry and component integrity remain a point of concern. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The records show steady usage, moving from 33,543 miles in May 2022 to 74,290 miles in June 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing, though the frequency of failures has increased in recent years. The jump from 55,571 miles in April 2024 to 66,925 miles in April 2025 indicates a period of higher usage compared to the earlier years of the vehicle's life. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The history shows a recurring pattern of wear in these areas, with suspension arm bushes and track rod ends appearing in multiple tests between 2023 and 2026. The April 2025 test also noted a gearbox oil leak and rear axle bush wear, so the integrity of the transmission seals and the condition of the rear suspension should be verified. The vehicle also shows a history of neglected consumable maintenance, specifically regarding tyres and braking components. Multiple tests, including those in 2022, 2023, and 2024, flagged tyres with exposed cords or excessive wear. The 2022 failure for thin brake pads and worn discs suggests that maintenance is often reactive rather than preventative. A thorough check of the current tyre tread depths, brake pad thickness, and the presence of any fresh fluid leaks around the gearbox is essential before purchase.
