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 4.0, indicating it meets the statutory requirements for use on the road. However, the maintenance history reveals a distinct deterioration in structural integrity and a lack of consistent upkeep, suggesting the vehicle may require immediate inspection or potential restoration. The MOT record shows a clear gap in the 2023-2024 testing window, with the most recent test on 2025-10-31 failing to meet the 187,996-mile limit and yielding a PASSED result. This creates a significant risk that the vehicle has not been adequately maintained in the last two years, as the 2024-2025 tests were conducted before the 2025-2026 testing period. The 2024-2025 records indicate a sharp accumulation of mileage, with the first test at 174,582 miles and the second at 174,561 miles, which is insufficient for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Given the recurring faults in the 2024-2025 records, particularly the offside coil spring fracture, front and rear brake disc pitting, and worn tyres, a buyer should be prepared to inspect the car for structural damage and corrosion. The offside coil spring fracture and the fractured or broken offside rear coil spring are serious structural risks that warrant immediate attention. Additionally, the offside rear brake disc pitting and the offside front brake disc pitting suggest that the braking system has experienced repeated wear without replacement, which could lead to a complete failure if not addressed.
