Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick Both (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- Dangerous brake failure on 2026-03-16, indicating severe neglect of critical safety components.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 8 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023) suggest chronic under-maintenance.
- Recurring brake pad and disc advisories (Mar 2020, Mar 2025, Mar 2026) escalating to dangerous failure.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-16, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,469 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
