Key Findings & Recommendations
- Front brake pads (soon): replace within the next few thousand kilometres. Reasonable grounds to negotiate ~$300 off the price.
- Two front tyres (soon): approaching wear indicators. Budget roughly $300-$400 for a matched pair.
- Cosmetic: small rear-door dent, does not affect structure - cosmetic only.
- Positives: full logbook service history, clean PPSR, strong mechanicals and no accident indicators. A sound example at the right price.
