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's most recent MOT test on 13 January 2026 at 133,198 miles resulted in a clean PASS despite five defects, including a severely deteriorated constant velocity boot and minor exhaust leaks. The corrosion on the front lower exhaust and mounting defects suggest a maintenance trend that is worsening, as the exhaust issues have progressed from minor leaks to mounting failures. The tester flagged binding front brakes in the 2024 December test, which were resolved by January 2026, indicating that some issues were addressed. The recurring rust on the rear sub-frame and lower suspension arm corrosion pose a structural risk that requires immediate attention to prevent further weakening. Buyers should inspect the deteriorated CV boot in person to check for grease leakage, and verify the exhaust mounting and corrosion severity before purchase.
