Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., arm, anti-roll bar) across multiple tests, indicating chronic wear.
- Recurring brake system advisories (e.g., pads, discs, fluctuating brakes) escalating to major failures in 2024.
- High mileage for its age (14,442 mi/yr) suggests increased wear and tear on components.
- Multiple minor failures (lights, mirrors, undertray) and advisories for the 2018 test.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
