Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2026-03-11 MOT test, indicating a serious safety failure.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 8 tests (e.g., Feb 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2023) suggest chronic wear.
- Major failure for windscreen on 2016-03-04, followed by a minor defect on 2016-03-02, indicates a past safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 4-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-11, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,404 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
