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 currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 62, which falls below the 63 point threshold required for a valid MOT, indicating a failure to meet the current standard. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 was conducted at 74,300 miles and failed, confirming that the vehicle has not satisfied the safety requirements of the current year. The MOT history reveals a clear trend of deterioration, with three consecutive failures dating back to 2019. The sequence of tests shows that the vehicle has failed twice, with the most recent failure occurring in September 2023 at 52,000 miles, while the previous failure was in August 2020 at 72,677 miles. This pattern suggests that the mechanical condition has been deteriorating over the last three years, with the vehicle likely experiencing increasing wear on critical components such as suspension bushings or brake discs. Given the repeated failures and the significant mileage loss since 2018, the vehicle presents a serious risk of imminent breakdown. The buyer must inspect the car for structural integrity, specifically checking for rust on the exhaust system and brake discs, and verify that the suspension is in good condition. A buyer should also confirm that the brakes are free of binding calipers and that the wheel bearings are not seized, as these are the most probable causes for the current lack of roadworthiness.
