Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle currently has no valid MOT certificate. The last test was recorded in July 2022, and today is June 2026. This four-year gap without a safety test is a significant concern for any buyer. You cannot legally drive this car on public roads without renewing the MOT, and the condition may have deteriorated significantly while standing. The mechanical history shows a persistent issue with the rear shock absorbers. Advisories regarding oil misting or limited damping were recorded in 2020, 2021, and 2022. This suggests the suspension has been worn for several years and likely requires replacement. There is also a history of corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe noted in 2018. Brake corrosion can worsen over time, especially if the vehicle has been unused, posing a serious safety risk. Lighting defects appear frequently, with cracked lenses and defective headlamps noted in the most recent test.
