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's overall roadworthiness is currently assessed as acceptable , though the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding the suspension and braking systems. The most recent MOT test on 2025-11-03 at 116,483 miles was a PASSED test, but this was preceded by a subsequent failure at 110,567 miles on the same date, suggesting the vehicle has experienced significant wear on critical components since the last inspection. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data shows a consistent accumulation of approximately 6,852 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle's 17-year age. However, this mileage trajectory is not uniform; it is punctuated by a notable gap of 5,300 miles between the 2023-10-13 test and the 2024-10-31 test, where the vehicle failed on both the front and rear inner tyres. This gap suggests that the owner may have been less diligent about routine maintenance during the intervening period, leading to accelerated wear on the suspension bushings and coil springs. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and brake condition in person, as these components are the primary sources of risk in the current assessment. The history reveals a clear pattern of failure in the front inner and offside rear tyres, which require alignment, indicating that the suspension has become unstable. Furthermore, the front brake pad wear is thin, and the offside rear brake pad is worn down to the manual hand brake, both of which are indicative of a lack of regular servicing. The front inner tyre also shows ply/cords exposure, which is a serious structural concern that must be addressed before the vehicle can be safely driven.
