Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle is in a stable condition with a clean bill of health from the most recent test on 12 June 2026 at 64,067 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories in the last three years suggests a consistent standard of maintenance. The overall trend is positive, as the car has moved from a period of minor mechanical failures into a phase of clean passes. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,559 miles per year. The record shows a significant drop in usage over the last few years. Between April 2023 and June 2026, the odometer only moved from 63,388 to 64,067 miles. This indicates the car has spent long periods stationary, which can often lead to perished rubber components or seized calipers despite the low wear on the engine. A buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The October 2017 failure at 52,172 miles for a broken offside rear coil spring and worn brake pads shows previous wear on these components. More recently, the April 2022 test at 62,418 miles flagged worn rear wishbone bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. While these were listed as advisories and did not cause a failure, the buyer should verify if these bushes were ever replaced or if they have deteriorated further. Given the low annual mileage and the history of suspension wear, checking for chassis corrosion and tyre perishing is essential. The November 2018 test noted rear tyres worn on the edges, which can suggest alignment issues or uneven wear from infrequent use. Ensure the brake discs are not pitted from standing and that the suspension movement is smooth and free of knocks.
