Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026-06-18 test confirms the vehicle is roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a clear trend of increasing wear and failure, indicating the system is not in a stable, improving state. The most recent test on 2024-06-13 at 121,988 miles was passed with no defects, establishing a baseline. However, the vehicle failed on 2022-04-26 at 79,648 miles, a gap of 42,340 miles. This failure occurred after the previous successful test, suggesting a significant deterioration in mechanical condition since the last clean inspection. The 2023-05-02 test at 97,408 miles was also passed, but the 2022-04-26 failure represents a complete loss of the 2024-06-13 certification, confirming that the vehicle has not maintained its safety rating for over two years. The mileage accumulation is not uniform; while the 2024-06-13 test shows 5,304 miles per year, the 2022-04-26 failure occurred at 79,648 miles, which is approximately 42,340 miles more than the last clean test. This rapid mileage increase since the 2024-06-13 date indicates that the vehicle has been driven at a much higher rate than the average for its age, likely due to aggressive use or lack of maintenance. The gap between the 2023-05-02 and 2024-06-13 tests is critical, as the 2023-05-02 test at 97,408 miles was passed, but the 2022-04-26 failure at 79,648 miles shows that the vehicle has not been maintained properly for more than two years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding brakes, suspension bushings, and structural corrosion, as these components are the primary sources of failure in this history. The 2022-04-26 failure likely resulted from worn brake discs, binding calipers, or rusted suspension bushings that were not replaced before the 2024-06-13 test. Since the 2023-05-02 test was passed, the issue may have been resolved, but the 2022-04-26 failure suggests that the vehicle has not been serviced to prevent future catastrophic failures. A buyer must verify that the brakes have been replaced and inspected, the suspension bushes checked, and the chassis for rust, as the lack of a clean MOT since 2024-06-13 means the vehicle is in a high-risk state for structural integrity issues.
