Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

Most recent MOT outcome (19 Dec 2025 – PASS) The car passed the latest test at 53 244 mi, but the examiner flagged the off‑side front tyre as being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This is the only defect recorded on the pass, meaning the vehicle is road‑legal now but the tyre will need replacement soon. Recurring mechanical pattern Across the last three years the MOT reports reveal a consistent set of issues: Tyre wear – both front tyres have been highlighted (near‑side front below 1.6 mm in Dec 2025, off‑side front close to limit). Seat‑belt anchorage – corrosion noted in 2024 and a significant reduction in strength recorded in Dec 2025. Suspension/steering – slight play in the near‑side front lower suspension arm ball joint (2024) and excessive free play in the near‑side steering rack tie‑rod (Dec 2025). Minor electrical – a non‑working near‑side stop lamp (Dec 2025) and ineffective windscreen wipers on both sides (Nov 2024). These defects point to wear on the front suspension and steering geometry, plus ageing of the seat‑belt anchorage hardware. Trend analysis The pattern is not improving: failures in Dec 2025 and Nov 2024 were followed by a pass in Dec 2025, but the same tyre‑wear issue re‑appears and the steering rack free play is a new, more serious defect. The frequency of failures (two failures in the last 12 months) suggests the condition is trending downward rather than stabilising. Mileage versus age At roughly 3 500 mi per year, the 53 000 mi on a 15‑year‑old Lancer is low.
