Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Dec 2024): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-12-05 (front pads) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring brake pad advisories (Dec 2025) and shock absorber advisory (Dec 2021) indicate neglected wear items.
- Major failure for windscreen washer (Dec 2023) suggests basic maintenance oversight.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-08 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.

- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
