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 in April 2026 saw a failed test due to exhaust emissions and a likely exhaust leak, but it passed once the defects were addressed. There are recurring issues with tyres perishing, which were noted in both 2024 and 2025. The vehicle also had a significant failure in 2024 involving broken coil springs and a worn anti-roll bar linkage. While the vehicle has passed its tests since then, these defects show that age-related wear is a factor. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, which may imply it has been used sparingly or has stood for long periods. This type of usage can lead to the perishing of rubber components and binding brakes, both of which have been recorded in the history. The most important checks to perform in person are to inspect the exhaust system, check the tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing, and test the brakes to ensure there is no binding or excessive wear on the pads.
