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 2025-12-12 recorded three issues: offside front steering rack inner joint play, a nearside front tyre with a nail, and an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. These suggest ongoing steering component wear and basic maintenance needs. The steering rack inner joint play has been a recurring defect since 2022, with similar notes in 2024 and 2025. This indicates a persistent mechanical issue that may require closer inspection. The 2022 MOT noted front and rear brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. This aligns with the 2021 MOT’s mention of offside front track rod end play, suggesting gradual wear in steering and braking systems. No major defects were recorded in 2023, but the 2024 and 2025 MOTs reiterate steering-related issues. The pattern shows consistent but non-critical wear in steering components, with no evidence of sudden deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 101,642 miles over 14 years equates to roughly 7,260 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear or extended periods of inactivity.
