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 has just failed its most recent MOT on May 26, 2026, with critical safety failures. The most serious issues are a brake failure message on the dashboard and an ABS fault, which meant the brake performance could not even be tested. This indicates a significant failure in the primary safety system. The overall condition trend is worsening. While the car passed in May 2025, it did so with several advisories regarding tyre perishing and track rod play. By May 2026, these issues persisted or evolved, and new, more severe problems emerged, including suspension arm corrosion and a total brake system fault. There is a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumables and suspension components. The tyres have been flagged as cracking or perishing across multiple tests since April 2025, suggesting they have not been replaced despite the wear. Similarly, play in the track rod ends has been a persistent issue since at least 2018. The recorded mileage of 226,819 miles is typical for a 21-year-old vehicle.
