Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2024-02-14 (front pads <1.5mm) — critical safety concern.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (2022, 2024, 2024) indicate ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
- Brake disc wear advisories on 2024-02-14 (front and rear) suggest a pattern of brake component degradation.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-09 provides significant peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent low mileage (5,236 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longer component life.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects since the 2024 brake repair.
