Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution or avoid entirely. This vehicle has a chronic history of structural and mechanical failures, particularly concerning suspension and safety systems, that suggests it has been poorly maintained over the long term.

If you are still considering this vehicle, you must demand a full and comprehensive service history to see if the recurring suspension and electrical faults have been professionally rectified. Given the history of 'Dangerous' and 'Major' failures, a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic is essential to assess the current state of the sub-frame and steering components.

Be prepared to walk away if there is no evidence of recent major work. The persistent oil leak noted in multiple MOTs and the history of steering rack play suggest that the mechanical condition may be deteriorating beyond the point of economical repair.
