Things to check
- Sep 2025: Anti-roll bar bush advisory recurring from Aug 2021 failure — critical suspension wear.
- Sep 2025: Coil spring advisory recurring from Aug 2021 failure — further suspension wear.
- Sep 2025: Brake pad advisory recurring from Sep 2022 failure — indicates ongoing brake maintenance.
- Aug 2021: Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover failure — structural integrity concern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-11, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No major failures in the last 3 years, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2023, suggesting regular use.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) for a 2009 model is excellent.
