Our Verdict

Avoid this vehicle unless major repairs are budgeted. Repeated MOT failures and high mileage for its age indicate significant mechanical risks.

This vehicle requires careful inspection of its engine and exhaust system due to repeated carbon monoxide emission failures. Check for rust on the nearside front brake pipe and assess the condition of the propshaft component mentioned in 2009. Negotiate heavily given the high mileage and history of brake pad replacements. Verify service records for maintenance of the suspension components (track rod end, wiper system) and ensure the tyres are recently replaced. Be prepared for potential costly repairs to the braking and exhaust systems.
