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 2025-12-22 shows a pass with multiple issues, including discoloured direction indicators, worn brake and clutch pedals, corroded brake hoses and pipes, steering rack play, and tyres near the legal limit. A separate entry on the same date records a fail with additional problems: incorrect direction indicator colours, a split CV boot, headlight aim issues, and continued corrosion. These results suggest the vehicle has persistent mechanical and corrosion-related concerns. Recurring defects include brake pedal wear , brake hose and pipe corrosion , tyre wear near legal limits , and steering rack play . These issues have appeared in multiple MOTs dating back to 2023, indicating long-term maintenance challenges. Corrosion on the exhaust, body, and chassis is also consistent, likely due to environmental exposure or inadequate protection. The 2025 fail note about a split CV boot introduces a new, potentially serious issue requiring immediate attention. The condition trend shows no clear improvement but also no dramatic worsening. Issues like brake pedal wear and tyre degradation have persisted for years, suggesting gradual deterioration rather than sudden failure. However, the 2025 fail highlights emerging problems (e.g., CV boot, headlight aim) that may indicate increasing mechanical stress.
