- Mileage decreased from 64,180 miles (Sep 2017) to 49,331 miles (Sep 2018), a strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre defects (Sep 2018, Sep 2019) and persistent brake/suspension advisories across multiple tests.
- Five test failures, including a DANGEROUS tyre defect in Sep
Working in its favour
