Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026-03-09 test at 120,759 miles passed with a minor exhaust leak, whereas the 2026-03-06 test at 120,757 miles failed due to a rear stop lamp issue, indicating the vehicle has maintained a consistent mileage pattern throughout the 2023–2025 period. The 2025-02-14 test at 117,460 miles also passed, confirming that the vehicle's mechanical health remained stable from 2023 to 2025, despite the significant discrepancy between the two most recent records. This stability suggests that previous owners likely adhered to basic upkeep routines, though the 2025-02-13 failure on parking brake efficiency warrants further attention. The 2026-03-09 test at 120,759 miles passed with a minor exhaust leak, whereas the 2026-03-06 test at 120,757 miles failed due to a rear stop lamp issue, indicating the vehicle has maintained a consistent mileage pattern throughout the 2023–2025 period. The 2025-02-14 test at 117,460 miles also passed, confirming that the vehicle's mechanical health remained stable from 2023 to 2025, despite the significant discrepancy between the two most recent records. This stability suggests that previous owners likely adhered to basic upkeep routines, though the 2025-02-13 failure on parking brake efficiency warrants further attention. Given the recurring faults including a rear stop lamp, suspension components, and brake binding, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers. Structural risks such as rusted subframe mounting areas and corroded suspension arms must also be evaluated, as these components are prone to failure under the stress of high mileage and frequent braking. The absence of excessive movement in the anti-roll bar linkages suggests the suspension system is likely in good shape, but the brake binding condition indicates that the system requires immediate professional servicing.
