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 currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the car passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 122,975 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior at 122,923 miles. That failure highlighted significant issues including an inoperative parking brake and structural damage to a front tyre. The persistence of these faults suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical defects once they reached the point of legal failure during the annual inspection process. The recorded mileage of 122,975 miles over 14 years averages to approximately 8,800 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady pattern of use, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,000 miles between 2023 and 2024. This consistent accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which helps prevent component lubrication. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension and braking system due to recurring defects. Both rear coil springs were flagged for corrosion in 2022, 2024, and 2025, indicating an ongoing issue with rust that could lead to fracture. The parking brake failed in 2025 due to low efficiency and mechanical inoperation, necessitating a thorough check of the cables and drum mechanisms. Additionally, the offside front wheel bearing was noted as noisy in the latest test, which should be verified during a road test to ensure it has actually been replaced. The presence of slight corrosion under the car noted in both 2024 and 2025 requires a visual inspection of structural integrity, particularly mounting members. The history of deteriorated CV boots and worn ball joints suggests that the rubber components and drivetrain pivots are nearing their service life, which should be checked for tearing or grease leakage to prevent total drivetrain failure.
