Things to check

- Recurring position lamp advisories on 2022-10-06 and 2023-10-04 suggest a persistent electrical fault.
- Multiple brake pad advisories on 2024-10-04 (all four wheels) suggest a pattern of wear items needing attention.
- Recent SORN in 2025 implies a period of inactivity or lack of maintenance.
Working in its favour
