Mechanical Assessment

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

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 recorded a pass with a single minor defect: the offside registration plate lamp inoperative (4.7.1 (b) (i)). However, the prior MOT on 2026-05-21 showed a fail with two critical issues : both front tyres had ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), and the same registration plate lamp defect. This suggests the vehicle may have been driven with unsafe tyres shortly before the pass, or the lamp issue persisted despite repairs. Recurring mechanical issues include tyre wear and brake pad degradation . In 2025-05-06, the MOT failed due to brake pads less than 1.5mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) on both rear wheels, alongside a worn nearside rear tyre. Similar tyre issues appeared in 2024-05-17 and 2025-05-07. While some defects were resolved by 2026, the repeated tyre and brake problems indicate potential neglect or accelerated wear. The condition trend shows mixed results . While the 2026 MOT passed, the prior fail highlights unresolved safety risks. Brake pads and tyres were consistently flagged, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges .
