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 presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of inconsistent maintenance. The most recent test on 3 July 2026 at 97,143 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2025 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical issues identified during previous failures have been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden surges in mileage. Between the 2023 and 2024 tests, the vehicle covered roughly 13,000 miles, which is a slightly higher annual average than the overall lifetime mean but remains well within normal parameters for a daily driver. The MOT history reveals a pattern of neglected consumable maintenance between 2021 and 2024. The July 2024 failure was particularly significant, involving a fractured offside front coil spring, critically thin brake pads on both axles, and a malfunctioning engine MIL. Earlier records from 2022 and 2023 indicate recurring issues with suspension arm bushes and loose wing mirrors. While these faults appear resolved, they suggest a previous owner who tended to address defects only when they reached a failure threshold rather than performing proactive servicing. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically checking the condition of the front and rear arm bushes to ensure the 2023 advisories have been fully rectified. Given the 2024 failure regarding brake pad thickness and the 2021 advisories regarding pitted brake discs, the current state of the braking system and any potential binding calipers should be verified. Finally, confirm that the tyre pressure monitoring system and engine management lights are fully operational to ensure the 2024 electronic faults were properly repaired.
