Things to check

  • Single MOT failure on 2009-03-18 for tyre and parking brake, though immediately rectified.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2009-03-18) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance needs.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (8,317 mi/yr) indicates light use and less wear.
