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 on 2026-06-02 recorded two advisories: offside registration plate lamp inoperative and nearside steering rack inner joint play. Both issues were also noted in prior MOTs, indicating persistent concerns. The steering rack play first appeared in 2024, leading to a failure, and re-emerged in 2025 and 2026. Registration plate lamp faults have recurred since 2024, suggesting unresolved electrical or bulb issues. The vehicle’s condition shows a stable pattern of minor, recurring faults rather than escalating risks. Steering rack play remains unaddressed but does not currently constitute a safety hazard. Brake disc wear was flagged in 2025 but not repeated in later tests, implying repairs may have been made. The 2023 MOT noted a tyre worn close to the legal limit, but no follow-up issues were recorded. Mileage of 106,675 miles over 10 years aligns with average usage, suggesting neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use. However, this does not rule out localized stress on components like the steering system or electrical fixtures.
