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 failed its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 99,757 miles. Critical failures included a major rear exhaust leak, nearside front tyre tread below legal limit, corroded brake pipes, and worn suspension components. This means the car is not currently roadworthy. At 99,757 miles over 19 years, the average annual mileage of 5,250 is low. This suggests the vehicle spent significant time stationary, accelerating corrosion on brake pipes and suspension parts as seen in repeated advisories since 2024. Recurring brake pipe corrosion across three consecutive tests indicates persistent issues. Front sub-frame and Macpherson strut corrosion, though not structurally critical yet, require monitoring. Worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages in 2024 tests point to neglected maintenance. A buyer must inspect brake lines for rust, exhaust integrity, and structural corrosion before purchase. Tyre wear and brake disc pitting recur consistently. The front position lamp failure shows electrical issues. Immediate repairs are needed for safety-critical components.
