Things to check
- 2026-02-27: Failed MOT with suspension issues, indicating recent wear and tear.
- 2023-03-10: Failed MOT due to suspension arm bush excessively worn.
- 2025-03-07: Failed MOT due to suspension arm bush excessively worn.
- 2020-06-15: Advisory for rear tyres worn close to legal limit.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-25, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (9,852 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
