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 test on 2026-05-26 resulted in a conditional pass at 118,903 miles, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy but with critical defects requiring immediate rectification. These include a smooth brake pedal, cracked headlamp lens, blue exhaust smoke, and severely corroded brake components. The maintenance trend is worsening, as the 2026-05-26 conditional pass followed a previous failure on the same day, highlighting a persistent failure to address underlying corrosion and brake issues. The low annual mileage of approximately 4,954 miles per year suggests the vehicle has seen light use, but the extensive corrosion across brake pipes, coil springs, and the prop shaft indicates prolonged exposure to the elements or inadequate protection. Buyers should conduct a thorough hands-on inspection of the braking system, focusing on the brake pads, calipers, and corrosion coverage on brake components. The suspension bushes and coil springs also require urgent attention to ensure structural integrity and safe handling.
