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, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 95,469 miles shows a pass following a failure just two days prior. That failure highlighted critical brake defects, including thin pads and worn discs, alongside failing shock absorber bushes and perished tyres. This suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical components once they reached the point of legal failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 95,469 miles over ten years, the car has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small city car. The data shows consistent annual use, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 7,000 miles covered in the year leading to the latest test. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary, which explains the progressive wear on the rubber suspension components and braking components noted throughout the record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The record shows a recurring issue with shock absorbers, progressing from light misting of oil in 2024 to excessively worn bushes by late 2025. You must verify that these shocks have actually been replaced and check for further leaks or play in the bushings. Furthermore, the frequent mentions of uneven tyre wear and inner edges across multiple years suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that require professional attention to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
