Our Verdict

Avoid this vehicle due to repeated mechanical failures and significant safety-related issues identified in recent MOTs.

This vehicle requires extensive mechanical inspection and potential repairs. Negotiate heavily due to the high risk of hidden faults. Prioritize checking suspension components (anti-roll bar, coil springs, shocks) and brake systems (pads, hoses, binding). Verify if previous MOT failures were addressed through service records. Be wary of corrosion damage to the front bumper and rear suspension, which may indicate poor maintenance. Avoid if you lack mechanical expertise or budget for major repairs.
