Things to check
- 2020 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for 2020, indicating a period of unverified roadworthiness.
- Recent MOT failure: The vehicle failed its MOT in Feb 2026 for a serious shock absorber leak, though it was immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
