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 passed its most recent MOT test on 20 March 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance trend shows some concerns, particularly with brake components and tyre wear, which have been recurring issues over the past few years. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 9,310 miles annually since its registration, which is typical for its age. Notably, there is a significant gap between the 2022 test at 71,446 miles and the 2023 test at 87,435 miles, suggesting either reduced usage or potential neglect during that period. The subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 show consistent annual mileage increases, indicating regular use. Buyers should inspect the brake system closely, especially the brake pads and discs, as these have shown signs of wear in multiple tests. The presence of corroded brake pipes, noted in the 2024 and 2026 tests, indicates potential leaks or corrosion issues that could compromise braking performance. Additionally, the nearside front tyre was found to be worn close to the legal limit in the 2026 test, suggesting uneven wear or improper inflation. Buyers should also check for any signs of structural rust, particularly around the underbody and engine trays, as these areas have been mentioned in the MOT reports.
