Things to check

- DANGEROUS suspension failures on 2025-12-29 and 2025-12-30 tests.
- Critical 4-year MOT gap (Feb 2020 to Jul 2024) with unverified mileage.
- High total mileage (325,687 mi by Feb 2020) indicates heavy wear and tear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-30, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recorded odometer fraud or mileage decreases in the provided history.
- Engine capacity of 1995cc diesel is generally well-regarded for reliability.
