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 demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a successful MOT test on November 11, 2021, at 138,248 miles. Prior to this, the vehicle recorded multiple failures, indicating that while the major mechanical components were serviceable, there was a recurring pattern of consumable wear and minor component degradation that required attention. The most recent inspection confirms the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's age, with the total recorded mileage reaching 138,248 miles. This accumulation occurred steadily over approximately 17 years, showing no significant gaps in the MOT history between the recorded tests in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The history suggests consistent, moderate usage rather than sudden, heavy accumulation of wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly. The 2021 failure record specifically flagged an excessively worn offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, which requires attention. Furthermore, the rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin during that inspection. Tyre condition should be checked carefully, as the vehicle has a history of front and rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit. The exhaust emissions issue from 2021 suggests a potential minor fault with the catalytic converter or exhaust system that should be investigated during a physical inspection.
