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 reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 99,782 miles passed, it highlighted recurring issues with pitted front brake discs and a nearside rear tyre. The trend remains stable in terms of passing, yet the owner consistently only addresses mechanical faults after a failure occurs, as evidenced by the 2025 failure where multiple suspension and glass issues were flagged. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 99,782 miles averages approximately 5,252 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,400 to 5,500 miles driven annually between 2023 and 2026. However, low annual mileage on an older French vehicle often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on exposed metal surfaces, which aligns with the persistent pitting and scoring noted on the brake discs across four consecutive records. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the February 2025 failure for an excessively worn offside lower arm ball joint and fractured rear coil springs suggests the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its life. The recurring advisory for pitted brake discs from 2023 through 2026 indicates the rotors are not being replaced, likely due to moisture-induced corrosion from low-frequency use. Check for structural rust on the sills and verify the condition of the windscreen, as the record shows a crack that persisted through two separate tests.
