Things to check

- Recurring major failures: 7 lights, 6 brakes, 3 tyres, 1 emissions, 1 steering — systemic neglect.
- Brake system failures and advisories escalate from May 2013 to Jun 2017, indicating chronic issues.
- Tyre failures and advisories escalate from Mar 2008 to Jun 2016, showing a pattern of poor maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Consistent high annual mileage (13,151 mi/yr) suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering across 15 MOT tests.
- The vehicle has a long, consistent service history, despite recurring failures.
- No recent MOT failures, only advisories, indicating owner is proactive in maintenance.
