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 2025-08-29 showed pass , but several defects were recorded. These included rear brake pipe corrosion , rear brake disc wear , suspension component corrosion , and headlamp lens issues . The rear sub-frame and shock absorber casings showed corrosion, though not severe. The nearside rear coil spring and front brake pipes had recurring corrosion, while brake binding was noted on the offside rear. These findings suggest ongoing wear and corrosion in critical areas. A pattern of corrosion and wear on suspension components (e.g., coil springs, suspension arms, and bushings) has persisted since 2023. The nearside front suspension arm bush was flagged in 2023, and corrosion on the rear sub-frame and shock absorbers reappeared in 2025. While these issues were not classified as defects in all cases, their recurrence indicates potential long-term degradation . The brake system also shows wear on discs and binding, which could affect safety if left unaddressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,940 miles for a 19-year-old car is very low , averaging ~3,049 miles annually.
