Things to check

  • Head gasket and timing chain failures are documented in the community knowledge for this 15-year-old diesel engine.
  • The vehicle is currently untaxed and has an expired MOT (2024-01-04), requiring immediate verification and rectification.
  • A major failure for lights on 2014-06-27, followed by a minor defect for the same component, suggests a recurring electrical issue.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage averaging 10,326 miles/year, indicating regular use without suspicious spikes or drops.
  • No recurring failures on the same critical system (e.g., brakes, suspension) after the initial 2021 failure.
  • The 2014-06-27 retest PASS after the initial failure shows the owner addressed the registration plate lamp issue promptly.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a well-designed vehicle for safety.
