Jon,
I do need to keep an eye on things, the anti roll bar and damper issue was something that could happen to any of us with the state of the roads at times. I should have checked the suspension after such a heavy pothole battering, but it was late at night when I got home and work was the following day followed by 2 weeks away, the next time I drove the car was a few weeks later for its MOT, so that was a bit of good fortune perhaps.
The MOT history site is a very useful tool to get a feel for if a car has been maintained as fastidiously as a seller claims. If advisories keep appearing for the same items year on year, then it?s a good haggling point or a clue as to whether to walk away.
