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 of this vehicle is currently in question, as the MOT record indicates a period of failure followed by a lapse, suggesting a lack of consistent maintenance or a shift in ownership patterns. The most recent test on 2025-10-02 was a failure, with the tester flagging multiple critical issues including a fractured or broken coil spring, exposed ply or cords on the front tyre, and a worn track rod end ball joint that blocks dirt ingress. The mileage trend shows a significant gap between the two most recent tests, with the most recent test occurring on 2025-10-02 at 88,702 miles, whereas the prior test on 2024-10-01 was recorded at 85,213 miles. This creates a 3,489-mile shortfall between the two most recent entries, which is insufficient to justify a full MOT pass and points toward a pattern of rapid mileage accumulation or a lack of regular servicing. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified, the vehicle requires immediate professional inspection in person to address the coil spring fracture, worn track rod end ball joint, and exposed tyre components. A buyer should verify the structural integrity of the suspension and mechanical components, as these issues represent serious risks to vehicle safety and performance.
