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 2025-08-13 shows a pass with several significant issues, including suspension corrosion, a worn rear tyre close to legal limits, and a corroded rear axle. Just eight days earlier, the same mileage showed a failed MOT with multiple serious faults, including non-working stop lamps, misaligned headlamps, excessive corrosion on suspension components, and a serious fluid leak from a rear shock absorber. These repeated and serious issues suggest a pattern of neglect or delayed maintenance. The vehicle shows a recurring mechanical pattern involving suspension corrosion, braking imbalances, and leaking shock absorbers. The 2024 MOTs also showed similar issues, including a failed MOT due to rear brake imbalance and a leaking front shock absorber. These recurring problems point to potential structural corrosion and wear on critical safety systems, especially in the suspension and braking components. The trend appears to be worsening. The 2024 MOTs showed issues that were not fully resolved by the 2025 MOT. While the vehicle passed in August 2025, it still had significant corrosion and a near-legal rear tyre. The fact that multiple serious faults were found in such a short period suggests ongoing or unresolved problems.
