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 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 at 125,100 miles with no defects recorded. The long term maintenance trend is inconsistent, characterized by a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. Frequent failures between 2021 and 2025 suggest a tendency to let components deteriorate to the point of failure before addressing them. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 8,936 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, with the vehicle covering approximately 6,500 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the frequency of fail-then-pass sequences indicates a lack of pre-test inspections by the previous owner. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows chronic issues with suspension arm bushes and coil springs, with failures noted in April 2019, April 2021, and April 2024. The braking system has also been a recurring point of failure, specifically regarding parking brake efficiency and worn inner brake discs, which were flagged in April 2022, April 2023, and again in April 2025. Attention should also be paid to the exhaust system and engine seals. The tester flagged defective exhaust mountings in April 2024 and April 2025, and a loose silencer in May 2025. An oil leak from the sump was noted in April 2024. While the most recent clean pass is positive, the history of exposed tyre cords and multiple tread depth failures suggests that basic consumable upkeep was often neglected.
