Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- Dangerous brake failure on 2026-04-24 (front pads <1.5mm) indicates a critical safety lapse.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (2024, 2025, 2026) suggest ongoing wear and potential neglect.
- Engine breather pipe split (2026-04-24) is a recent, unaddressed safety-critical defect.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,815 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-28, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- All prior advisories were addressed and passed on subsequent retests, demonstrating owner responsiveness.
