Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2024-01-26, a critical and unexplained discrepancy.
- Recurring brake failures (Jul 2018, Jan 2022, Jan 2023) and tyre failures (Jun 2016, Jan 2021, Jan 2023) indicate systemic neglect.
- Offside Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin advisory (Jul 2018) escalated to DANGEROUS failure (Jan 2023).
- Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage fractured (Jan 2023) is a recent and significant suspension failure.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,219 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a consistent service history, with no large gaps in MOT testing.
