AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle passed its most recent MOT on May 26, 2026, but only after failing a few days prior. While it is currently roadworthy, the history reveals a concerning and worsening trend regarding the chassis and suspension. There is a clear pattern of structural and suspension degradation. In 2024, the front and rear sub-frames and front suspension arms were all flagged for corrosion. By 2025, both front coil springs had fractured and required replacement. Most recently, in May 2026, the car failed due to worn front suspension arm bushes and damaged ball joint dust covers, and it still carries an advisory for a corroded offside rear coil spring. The maintenance of consumables is also a red flag. There are repeated entries across 2024 and 2026 showing multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where parts are only replaced when they cause an MOT failure, rather than being serviced preventatively. The mileage of 91,517 over 13 years is typical for a vehicle of this age.
