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 is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring failure to address front tyre condition. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 116,074 miles passed, it carried advisories for nearside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and having tread damage. This follows a persistent pattern seen in 2022 and 2023 where the offside front tyre was flagged for similar inner and outer edge wear and tread damage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage patterns with roughly 6,000 miles driven between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 4,100 miles covered between August 2024 and September 2025. The failure in August 2024 at 111,801 miles due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light suggests a momentary oversight or a sensor fault that required attention, though this was rectified before the subsequent re-test. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment, as the repeated reports of inner and outer tyre wear across multiple years indicate a likely geometry issue or worn suspension bushes. This type of uneven wear leads to premature tyre replacement and should be mechanically corrected. Furthermore, the buyer should verify the engine management system to ensure the malfunction indicator light flagged in 2024 was fully resolved and does not hide deeper electrical faults within the emissions or drivetrain system.
