Things to check

- Recurring tyre advisories across 2018, 2019, and 2020 tests indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring brake disc advisories in 2020, 2022, and 2026 tests show a pattern of neglect.
- 2024 MOT gap suggests a period of unrecorded use or potential neglect.
Working in its favour

- Valid MOT until 2027-02-10, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
