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 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure in late 2024. While the car previously presented with critical braking and suspension issues, the subsequent pass without advisories suggests that the immediate high-priority faults were addressed, bringing the vehicle back to a functional operating standard. The mileage data indicates consistent usage, though the intervals between tests vary slightly. Between 63,437 miles in April 2022 and 88,368 miles in December 2024, the vehicle covered approximately 25,000 miles over two years, which represents a standard annual average of 12,500 miles. The gap of 13,214 miles recorded between the April 2023 and December 2024 tests confirms the car is being driven regularly rather than sitting stagnant. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the offside Macpherson迫 top bush and bearing which were flagged for excessive wear in 2024. Although this was rectified, the history of thin rear pads and corroded discs across 2023 and 2024 indicates that the braking system may be prone to neglect. It is essential to verify that the nearside front ABS wheel speed sensor is securely mounted and that the warning lamp remains inactive during a test drive. Given the previous history of uneven tyre wear in 2022, the current alignment should also be checked to ensure no lingering geometry issues persist.
