Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm ball joint advisories (Dec 2021) escalated to major failures (Dec 2022, Dec 2023).
- Offside Front Tyre had ply exposed (Sep 2019 advisory), a dangerous defect that required immediate replacement.
- Multiple light failures (Sep 2016, Sep 2017) and advisories (Sep 2019) indicate electrical wear.
- A 2025 service gap is noted, suggesting a period of unrecorded maintenance or off-road use.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,597 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- All past failures and advisories were promptly rectified, demonstrating responsible ownership.
