Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Aug 2023) indicate a persistent wear item.
- Major suspension failures on 2021-10-09 (nearside rear coil spring) and 2021-10-09 (offside rear coil spring) suggest past neglect.
- Major lighting failures on 2020-03-18 (rear fog lamp) and 2020-03-18 (nearside stop lamp) were addressed but highlight past issues.
Working in its favour
