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 in 2025 showed the vehicle passed with some minor issues: worn rear tyres, corroded rear coil spring, and a front lower oil leak. These are concerning signs of wear and corrosion that need to be addressed. The recurring mechanical pattern in this vehicle's history is the presence of worn brake discs, corroded suspension components, and worn drive shaft joints. This suggests that the vehicle may be experiencing issues with its braking system, suspension, and drivetrain. The trend in the vehicle's condition does not look to be improving. In fact, it appears to be worsening, with more serious issues being reported in each successive MOT. The fact that the vehicle failed its MOT in 2023 and 2024 due to more severe problems also suggests that the condition of the vehicle is deteriorating. The mileage of 128,490 miles is roughly typical for a vehicle of this age, but it is difficult to say whether the vehicle has been used hard or left standing for long periods. The mileage signal is ambiguous, and without more information, it is impossible to determine whether the vehicle has been driven regularly or left idle for extended periods. Based on the MOT history and mileage context, it is clear that this vehicle requires a thorough inspection before purchase.
