Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2025): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed in Jan 2021, indicating a serious safety issue.
- Recurring Suspension: Major failure in Jul 2020 and advisory in Jan 2021 for the Nearside Rear trailing arm bush.
- Recent Low Mileage: Only 2,354 miles in 10 months (Feb 2024 to May 2025) suggests a change in usage or potential storage.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT: Current MOT is valid until June 2026, offering peace of mind for the next year.
- Consistent Mileage: Average annual mileage of 9,577 miles/year is consistent with UK usage.
- No Recurring Failures: Once the initial failures were addressed, there were no subsequent failures.
- Euro NCAP Rating: 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) indicates a well-designed vehicle.
