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 in March 2026 was a pass, but it identified several defects including an oil leak, slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, and wear on the front brake discs. There is a very clear recurring pattern regarding the front brake discs, which have been noted as worn, pitted, or scored in every MOT entry from 2023 through to 2026. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, the addition of an oil leak and suspension play in the latest report suggests the condition trend is worsening as more mechanical issues are noted. The recorded mileage of 154,292 is roughly typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,286 miles per year. This level of usage is consistent with the wear seen on the brakes and suspension, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of standing. The most important checks are to inspect the front brake discs and pads, check the source and severity of the oil leak, and inspect the suspension components for any further play.
