- 7 test failures (Oct 2010, Jan 2010, Oct 2011, Apr 2013, Apr 2015, Apr 2016) indicate chronic neglect.
- Brakes failed 10 times (Oct 2010, Apr 2015, Apr 2016) and advisories for 3 related issues.
- Tyres failed 5 times (Jan 2009, Jan 2009, Oct 2010, Oct 2010, Apr 2013) and advisories for 11 related issues.
Working in its favour

- The vehicle has a consistent mileage history, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- The car has been regularly tested for MOTs since its first test in 2006.
