Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution due to the significant volume of mechanical failures recorded in the 2025 MOT. This vehicle requires a thorough pre-purchase inspection to ensure that the extensive suspension and steering repairs were completed to a high standard.

When inspecting this vehicle, demand to see invoices for the repairs carried out following the March 2025 MOT failure. Specifically, check that the steering column bearing, suspension arm ball joints, and anti-roll bar linkages were replaced with quality parts rather than budget alternatives. Given the history of tyre and wheel damage, check the alloy wheels for any signs of past kerbing or buckling that might have been missed.

Take the car for a long test drive on varied road surfaces. Listen carefully for any knocking or rattling from the front suspension, as the recurring issue with the offside front coil spring suggests the suspension components may be under significant stress. Ensure the steering feels precise and does not exhibit any play, as the steering column was previously flagged as excessively worn.
