Things to check

- Recurring tyre advisories (2019, 2021, 2024) and shock absorber advisories (2019, 2021) suggest chronic wear.
- Engine MIL failure on 2020-09-02, though fixed, points to potential underlying engine management issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-05, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No major structural corrosion or recurring suspension failures, indicating sound underlying chassis.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, suggesting genuine usage.
