2008 Zetor 6945 3.5L Diesel · Q47 KBV

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of worsening structural degradation. While the most recent test in March 2026 resulted in a pass, it identified heavy corrosion on the offside front wheel arch support. This represents a significant escalation from the general corrosion noted in February 2024, suggesting that the structural integrity of the chassis is actively declining and has not been adequately addressed since previous warnings. Data regarding mileage is insufficient to determine a usage pattern or the rate of wear on mechanical components. There are no mileage figures recorded for the tests between 2022 and 2026, making it impossible to assess whether the vehicle is used regularly or sits idle for long periods. This lack of data prevents an evaluation of service-interval consistency, which often correlates with the type of environmental corrosion seen in the MOT record. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points. The record consistently flags corroded spring hanger brackets and axle components across 2023 and 2024, indicating that the entire frame is susceptible to advanced atmospheric rust. Particular attention is required for the front wheel arch support flagged in the latest test, to ensure the heavy corrosion has not compromised the mounting points for steering or overall structural geometry. Additionally, the fluid reservoirs and rear axles should be checked for weeping leaks or thinning metal resulting from the persistent corrosion noted in 2024. Given the recurring nature of these faults, the vehicle likely requires significant preventative welding to maintain long-term roadworthiness.
