Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • Dangerous tyre defects: 4 DANGEROUS failures (Dec 2020, Jan 2024, Mar 2026) indicate severe neglect.
  • Recurring brake system failures: 4 major failures (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Nov 2022, Jan 2024) and 11 advisories show chronic issues.
  • Recurring suspension failures: 2 major failures (Dec 2021, Nov 2022) and 2 advisories point to ongoing structural neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects since the March 2026 retest.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsive ownership.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
