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 2025-09-29 showed a pass but noted slight play in the offside front inner track rod end. A separate failure on the same date highlighted excessive wear in both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins or bushes. These defects indicate progressive deterioration in suspension components. Recurring issues involve suspension arm bushes, which were first noted as worn but not excessive in 2024. By 2025, the wear had worsened to the point of failure, suggesting a clear trend of declining suspension integrity. The track rod end play observed in 2025 may reflect related wear or misalignment, though no prior mention of this issue exists. The vehicle’s mileage of 93,377 miles over 13 years aligns with typical usage, averaging 7,183 miles annually. This suggests no extreme under-use or heavy wear, but the suspension defects imply targeted stress on specific components. Brake discs and tyres also showed signs of wear in 2023, though these were not recurring issues. The trend of suspension arm bush wear is worsening, with a failure in 2025 following earlier warnings.
