Our Verdict

Avoid this vehicle unless you're prepared to address significant suspension issues. The recent MOT failure highlights critical safety concerns that require immediate attention.

Demand proof of suspension repairs from the seller and inspect service records for recurring issues. Negotiate a significant discount to account for the required work. Be wary of the vehicle's limited practicality due to the 'used during daylight only' restriction. Check for additional mechanical faults beyond the MOT report and consider a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic.
