A prospective buyer should still verify that the mechanical components remain in good condition. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any cracking or excessive play, as these can compromise handling. Check the brake system: verify that the discs and pads are within the manufacturer’s minimum thickness limits, and ensure the calipers are not binding. Tyres should be inspected for tread depth and sidewall integrity; a worn tread or sidewall damage may indicate neglect. Wiper blades should be replaced if they leave streaks or show cracking. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, and confirm that the emission control components are intact. Finally, review the service history for regular oil changes, coolant top‑ups, and any recorded repairs, as these support the MOT record’s indication of stable maintenance.
