Our Verdict

A reasonable choice for a compact city SUV, provided you verify the quality of recent suspension repairs. The vehicle has a fresh MOT, but the history shows a pattern of wear on steering and axle components.

Focus your attention on the service history regarding the suspension. In June 2025, the car failed on both rear axle swivel pins and bushes, as well as a front track rod end. You should request invoices to ensure these were replaced with quality parts rather than temporary fixes.

Check that the 1.0L engine has been serviced at the correct intervals, as these smaller turbocharged units rely heavily on clean oil to maintain longevity. Given the recent failure for a stop lamp, a quick check of all exterior lighting is advised to ensure no other electrical gremlins are present.
