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 on 2025-12-15 showed the vehicle passed with minor issues: offside and nearside headlamp lenses slightly defective, rear brake pads near the wear limit, and rear brake discs worn but not seriously weakened. These defects were previously noted in earlier tests, indicating persistent concerns with lighting and braking systems. Recurring defects include rear brake pad wear (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and brake disc wear (1.1.14 (a) (ii)), which appeared in 2024, 2023, and 2025. Tyre tread issues also surfaced in 2024, with the offside rear tyre below the legal limit, though this was resolved by 2025. Headlamp defects, including lens issues and aim, have been consistent since 2023. These patterns suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for lighting and braking components. The trend shows some stability rather than worsening. Brake pad and disc wear remained within acceptable limits in 2025, though still near the threshold. Tyre issues were addressed, and headlamp defects persisted but did not escalate. However, the vehicle’s age and mileage (107,246 miles) imply typical wear for a 14-year-old car.
