Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, with a clear worsening trend evident from the most recent test dated 2025-11-10. The 2025-11-10 MOT failed on five distinct grounds, including a significantly worn front brake disc and a near-perishing front tyre, which indicates a serious mechanical deterioration that has not been corrected. This failure occurred while the vehicle was approximately 57,016 miles, placing the test date roughly 15 months ago relative to the current date of 2026-06-18. The failure of the front brake disc suggests that the brake system has lost structural integrity, a critical risk that must be addressed immediately. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct gap in the vehicle's history, with the most recent test occurring at 57,016 miles in November 2025. This is approximately 7,127 miles per year, which is typical for an 8-year-old vehicle, but the data is sparse due to the lack of records for the preceding 14 months. The 2025-11-10 failure is the only recorded incident in that period, and the 2024-11-06 test was conducted at 46,997 miles, which is only 10,019 miles away. This rapid accumulation of mileage suggests that the owner may have been driving the vehicle for extended periods without adequate maintenance, leading to the premature wear on the brake discs and tyres that has now compromised the vehicle's safety. In conclusion, the buyer must inspect the vehicle personally to address the severe structural damage to the front brake disc and the near-perishing tyre, which must be replaced. The history indicates that the owner has been neglecting basic upkeep for over a year, with the most recent inspection failing on five different grounds. The lack of a clear history for the preceding months and the presence of multiple failures suggest that the vehicle may not be drivable until these issues are resolved.
