Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes following an early failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 October 2025 at 81,373 miles passed with no defects recorded. This follows three consecutive years of clean results, indicating that the mechanical and structural components monitored by the tester are currently meeting all legal safety standards without immediate concern. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 22,944 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,600 miles annually. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary neglect, which benefits the engine seals and rubber components by preventing premature degradation often associated with low-use cars. The only recorded failure in the history occurred on 27 October 2022 at 58,428 miles due to consumable wear, specifically insufficient tread depth on the nearside and offside front tyres alongside perishing rubber on the rear tyres. While these were rectified immediately to achieve a pass, a buyer should verify that the current tyres have adequate age and show no signs of sidewall cracking. Given the clean records over the last three years, the physical inspection should focus on standard wear items such as suspension bushes and brake pads, which are the likely components to require attention as the vehicle approaches the 90,000-mile mark.
