These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
