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's overall roadworthiness is currently PASSED at 175,190 miles on 2026-03-31, with a clear trend of improving over time. The most recent MOT passed without any critical defects, whereas the previous record from March 2025 failed due to severe exhaust emissions issues and structural damage to the mirror assembly, indicating that the engine and exhaust systems have been addressed since then and the mechanical condition has stabilized. The mileage pattern is stable and consistent with the vehicle's age of approximately 10,305 miles per year. There are no significant gaps in the data, though the 2025 test shows a notable accumulation of miles, which is expected given the age of the car. The engine MIL and exhaust emissions test have been resolved, suggesting the drivetrain and exhaust components have been serviced and are functioning correctly. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and maintenance gaps in the suspension and brakes. The most recent MOT confirms that the rear brake disc has pitted or scored but is not seriously weakened, and the suspension bushings have only light misting of oil, indicating they are in good condition. However, the 2025 test revealed a serious fluid leak in the offside rear shock absorbers, which must be confirmed and repaired before the vehicle is considered fully roadworthy.
