Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2015-07-22 (37,656 mi) indicates immediate safety risk.
- Recurring suspension arm failures (Feb 2021, Jul 2025) and advisories (6 tests) point to chronic neglect.
- Persistent brake disc wear advisories (Jan 2023, Jul 2025) and major failures (4 tests) suggest a systemic problem.
- Mileage dropped significantly from 72,067 miles (Feb 2019) to 78,941 miles (Feb 2021), a major red flag for odometer fraud.
Working in its favour

- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
