Things to check
- Offside Steering rack gaiter missing (May 2026 FAIL) — a critical safety component.
- Nearside Steering rack gaiter missing (May 2026 FAIL) — another critical safety component.
- Emissions Lambda reading outside limits (May 2026 FAIL) — indicates potential engine management issues.
- Brake disc wear advisory (May 2026) — indicates imminent brake maintenance needs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-21, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, suggesting regular use without abuse.
- No recurring failures on the same system after initial fixes, indicating responsive ownership.
