Things to check

  • Major SRS warning lamp fault on 2023-10-04 indicates a significant safety system issue.
  • 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

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-28 provides peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
