Our Verdict

Proceed with caution and budget for immediate suspension repairs. While the 3.0L diesel engine is a strong unit, this specific vehicle shows a persistent pattern of steering and suspension wear that needs addressing.

When negotiating, use the recent MOT history to your advantage. The most recent test shows multiple advisories regarding rear shock absorbers (misting oil and corrosion) and rear suspension arm bushes, as well as offside play in the steering rack inner joint. These are not just cosmetic issues; they represent upcoming maintenance costs that should be factored into your offer.

Ensure you request a full service history, specifically looking for evidence of oil changes for that 2993cc engine. Given the steering rack issues noted since 2021, check if any major steering components have been replaced recently. If the steering feels loose or produces a knocking sound over bumps during your test drive, walk away or demand a significant price reduction.
