The suspension and steering components, which have not been flagged in the MOT history, should be inspected for signs of wear, such as tired suspension bushes and worn-out coil springs. Additionally, the brake system, which has not been mentioned in the MOT record, should be inspected for any signs of binding or worn-out brake pads and discs. The buyer should also inspect the exhaust emissions and check for any signs of structural rust, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches, to ensure the vehicle's structural integrity.
