CHAUSSON UNKNOWN2018 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on 30 April 2025 at 53,234 miles. While the most recent test indicates no defects, the history reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests. In both May 2024 and 2025, the car failed its inspection within days of the scheduled appointment before passing shortly after. This suggests that the previous owner engaged in reactive maintenance, only addressing faults once they became a legal hindrance, rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,654 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 47,422 miles and May 2024 at 50,789 miles, the car covered just 3,367 miles in over fourteen months, indicating periods of very low use. The subsequent jump of 2,445 miles leading to April 2025 shows a return to more regular usage. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it can also lead to the degradation of rubber suspension bushes and brake seals due to lack of consistent movement. A buyer must investigate the specific defects that caused the two recent failures, as the provided record does not detail the mechanical reasons for the rejects. Given the proximity of the failures, a physical inspection should focus on signs of weeping shock absorbers, perished tyres, or worn exhaust components that may have triggered the initial re-tests. Check the structural integrity of the sills and underside for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary often suffer from hidden surface rust if not stored in dry environments.
