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 2024-09-11 recorded a pass at 173,313 miles, but several critical issues were noted. Offside Rear Brake pads were wearing thin, a Brake pipe was corroded and covered in grease, and the exhaust had a minor leak. An oil leak was present but not excessive, and the steering rack showed play. The undercarriage was undersealed, indicating potential exposure to corrosion. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with braking and sealing systems. A prior MOT on 2024-09-10, just one day earlier, resulted in a fail at 173,311 miles. This failure included a fractured leaf spring, a split CV boot, corroded suspension mounts, and multiple brake-related issues. The vehicle also had tyres worn close to legal limits and excessive corrosion on structural components. These problems overlap with earlier MOTs, indicating persistent weaknesses in the braking system, suspension, and corrosion resistance. Since 2021, recurring issues have involved brake pipes, suspension joints, and corrosion.
