Things to check

  • Recurring suspension component wear (ball joint, anti-roll bar link) noted in advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsive ownership.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
