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 29 January 2026 at 85,712 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The earlier failure on 10 May 2023 for severely weakened front and rear brake discs was rectified, as subsequent tests in May 2023 (same date), January 2024, January 2025 and January 2026 all passed without further brake-related advisories, suggesting an improving maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 71,973 miles in May 2023 to 85,712 miles in January 2026, an average of roughly 7,200 miles per year over the last three intervals. This aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of its age and shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps in recorded mileage. The near‑limit tread on the nearside front tyre noted at 79,217 miles in January 2025 was the only recorded wear issue, and the tyre has since been replaced, as no further tyre advisories appear. A prospective buyer should verify that the brake discs remain within safe thickness limits, checking for any residual scoring or uneven wear that could indicate incomplete repair. Inspect the current tyre tread, especially on the nearside front, to confirm adequate depth and uniform wear. Examine suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for signs of corrosion or play, and scan the chassis for any emerging rust, particularly around wheel arches and under‑body panels. While the MOT record shows no structural faults, a visual and tactile assessment of these areas will confirm that the earlier brake work has not introduced secondary issues.
