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 currently fails the MOT, resulting in a roadworthiness verdict of "not roadworthy." The most recent test on 2026-06-02 at 78,485 miles was passed, yet the vehicle has not maintained this status, indicating a failure to improve. This persistent non-compliance suggests a lack of aggressive maintenance, with the vehicle likely retaining the same poor condition as the 2025-03-24 test where it failed. The consistent failure rate across the 2025-2024 period confirms that the mechanical issues are not resolving and that the vehicle is in a state of deteriorating condition. The mileage pattern is characterized by rapid accumulation without significant gaps, reflecting high wear rates on critical components. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 4,131 miles annually, which is low for its 2007 age, but the sheer volume of data points indicates that the vehicle has been driven heavily and subjected to frequent servicing. The data is clean and sparse, meaning no obvious gaps in mileage are present, which implies that the vehicle has been maintained with a high frequency of checks, yet the results have remained consistently negative. To determine the true condition of the vehicle, the buyer must inspect the specific mechanical components flagged in the MOT history for signs of wear, corrosion, or structural failure. The record highlights binding brakes, a corroded front sub-frame, and a fractured or broken coil spring, all of which are indicative of serious structural risks. The suspension components, including strut top mounts and bushings, show slight play and wear, suggesting that the suspension has not been properly adjusted or maintained. Furthermore, the history of a failed MOT on the 2025-03-24 test, combined with the failure on the 2024-02-27 test, indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a full diagnostic programme, leaving the mechanical integrity at a precarious level.
