Things to check

  • Jun 2018 MOT advisory: Offside Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin — a recurring brake issue.
  • Jun 2018 MOT advisory: Seatbelt not fully functional — a safety-critical defect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded on the single test in Jun 2018.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage history.
  • No recurring major failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
