Things to check
- Recurring major suspension failures (Apr 2022, Apr 2023) and advisories (Apr 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Brake system advisories (Apr 2022, Apr 2024) escalated to a major failure (Apr 2025), suggesting a pattern of neglect.
- Tyre advisories (Apr 2022, Apr 2024) and a major failure (Apr 2025) point to a history of poor maintenance.
- Engine/Oil and Lights major failures (Apr 2022, Apr 2023) highlight broader mechanical issues.
Working in its favour
