Before you view it
The Fiat Qubo's most common MOT issues, turned into things to ask about or look for.
Ask for the date and mileage of the last disc replacement; visually check for a deep wear lip and rust pitting on each disc.
Check tread depth across the full width on all four; uneven wear suggests alignment or suspension issues.
Bounce-test each corner; check for oily streaks down the strut bodies.
Check ride height is even side-to-side and look for cracked or rusted coils.
