Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The most recent MOT was completed in April 2025, meaning the vehicle is currently taxed and tested with roughly ten months remaining on the certificate. It passed with zero defects, indicating a solid baseline condition at that time. The historical trend is stable and improving, as the only advisory recorded in the last five years was a worn offside rear tyre in 2021, which has been rectified and not flagged again. With an average of only about 4,000 miles per year, this vehicle has seen very light use. While low mileage is often desirable, on a complex luxury saloon like this, it frequently suggests long periods of inactivity. This pattern of use can lead to deterioration from ageing rather than wear, particularly regarding rubber components, fluids, and surface corrosion on parts that are not regularly lubricated by motion. Because the mileage is so low, the risk lies less in mechanical fatigue and more in degradation caused by standing still. You should inspect the tyres closely for age-related cracking or flat spots, as they may be old despite having legal tread depth. Check the brake discs for heavy surface rust or pitting, which is common on cars that sit unused. Finally, listen for any unusual noises from the air suspension system and ensure all electrical accessories operate without fault, as these systems can suffer when a vehicle is not driven regularly.
