Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a developing trend of neglected rear braking components. While the most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 41,004 miles passed, the tester again flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs on both sides. This follows an advisory from the December 2024 test at 38,306 miles, indicating that the owner has opted not to replace these components despite repeated warnings of surface corrosion. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. Usage appears consistent across annual intervals, with roughly 3,700 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with age-related degradation, as seen in the November 2022 test at 29,235 miles where all four tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing, suggesting the car likely sat for long periods or was used for short trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear brake assembly to ensure the pitting has not compromised the structural integrity of the discs. The previous report of a stiff park brake cable in 2021 also warrants a physical check to ensure the mechanism has not seized due to lack of use. Given the history of rubber perishing, a thorough inspection of the tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes is essential, as low mileage does not prevent the material breakdown of components over a decade.
