Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Aug 2021) and coil spring failures (Aug 2022) indicate a pattern of wear.
  • High annual mileage (12,034 miles/year) will accelerate future component wear and maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-11, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent high mileage (12,034 miles/year) suggests regular use and no hidden storage.
