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

Most recent MOT (2025‑10‑02 – PASS) The car passed its latest test at 78,342 mi, but the report flags three front tyres and the rear‑right tyre as being worn close to the legal limit, with wear on the edges. The off‑side rear shock absorber shows a light mist of oil, and the under‑tray panels are fitted, which can hide further component checks. Recurring issues - Tyre wear: Noted on all four tyres in the latest MOT and previously on the front‑right wheel in 2023. - Lighting faults: The off‑side rear registration‑plate lamp has been recorded as inoperative on three separate occasions (2023, 2024, 2025). The off‑side front headlamp failed in 2023. - Electronic safety systems: In 2024 the car failed due to ABS, ESC and electronic parking‑brake warnings, plus a side‑repeater fault. Those faults were not listed in the 2025 pass, but the earlier failure suggests a potential intermittent problem. - Suspension oil leak: The off‑side rear shock absorber oil mist was first noted in 2025; no earlier mention, so it is a new concern. Trend analysis The vehicle’s MOT record shows a mixed picture. After a clean pass in October 2024, the 2025 test introduced tyre‑wear warnings and a minor shock‑oil leak, while the electronic‑system faults that caused a failure in 2024 are no longer listed.
