Things to check

  • MOT expired 2013-02-06; current status 'Not valid' — critical administrative issue.
  • High mileage (207,567 miles by Feb 2012) suggests heavy use, accelerating wear.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Feb 2009) and suspension (Feb 2009, Feb 2011) indicate structural neglect.
  • Offside Front coil spring fractured (Feb 2009) and Nearside Rear coil spring fractured (Feb 2011) show recurring suspension issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness despite past issues.
