Start by reviewing the full MOT certificates to confirm that the 2024, 2023 and 2022 tests show no failures and that any advisory notes have been addressed. Pay particular attention to the condition of the constant‑velocity joints and drive shafts, as multiple advisories indicate severe boot deterioration; a visual inspection for grease leakage and play in the joints should be carried out, and any replacement of boots or joints should be factored into the purchase price. Check the tyres for perished sidewalls and tread depth, especially the off‑side front tyre noted in the 2014 entry, and verify that the brakes, suspension components and engine oil level are in good order. Negotiate a discount if the CV boots or related components need renewal, and request a recent service history to ensure regular maintenance has been performed.
