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 2025-07-17 recorded a pass with one advisory: the offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. This suggests the tyre may need replacement soon, but no immediate safety risk. However, the prior MOT on 2025-07-16 showed a failure due to front brake disc wear, pitted or scored surfaces, and brake pads below 1.5 mm. These issues indicate potential brake system neglect, as the same tyre wear was noted in both MOTs, highlighting ongoing maintenance concerns. A recurring pattern of suspension and steering component wear emerges from the history. In 2024-07-10, the MOT failed due to excessive wear in the nearside rear upper suspension arm pin/bush and nearside front suspension ball joint. Similar issues resurfaced in 2023-07-17, with slight play in suspension joints. These problems suggest progressive wear in critical suspension components, which could compromise handling and safety if unaddressed. The 2024-07-11 MOT also noted slight steering column and rack play, indicating potential steering system degradation. The trend shows intermittent failures but no clear worsening.
