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 test on 2022-02-24 was a pass, but it followed a failed test just two days earlier. The failed MOT highlighted concerns with the front brake disc, anti-roll bar linkage wear, and incorrect rear tyre fitment. These issues suggest inconsistent maintenance and potential neglect in key safety areas. Recurring problems include the front brake disc being worn but not excessively, appearing in both 2019 and 2022. This suggests the brake disc has been monitored but not replaced, despite being flagged as a concern for several years. The anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush on the nearside front was excessively worn in 2022, indicating ongoing suspension wear that may affect handling and stability. The trend appears to be stable with some unresolved issues. While the vehicle passed its most recent MOT, the repeated nature of brake and suspension faults shows a pattern of deferred maintenance. The 2021 MOT also noted a loose undertray and under-inflated tyre, which were minor but indicative of a lack of consistent care. The recorded mileage of 146,831 miles over 18 years equates to an average of about 8,157 miles per year.
