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 2026-04-02 recorded a failure due to nearside front tyre tread depth below the legal limit of 1.6mm. A separate entry on the same date shows a pass, but the failure indicates a critical safety issue with tyre condition. This suggests the vehicle’s tyres require immediate attention to avoid further penalties or risks. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyre wear. In 2024-03-18, both rear tyres were noted as worn close to the legal limit, with tread depths of 2mm. By 2026, the front tyre had deteriorated further, highlighting inconsistent tyre maintenance or uneven wear. No other defects were recorded in the remaining MOTs, which were all passed. The trend in tyre condition appears to be worsening, as the 2026 failure followed earlier warnings in 2024. This could indicate improper tyre rotation, alignment issues, or excessive mileage on specific tyres. However, the lack of other defects in the history suggests the vehicle’s overall mechanical systems have remained stable.
