The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding the braking system. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 13,877 miles passed, the tester identified an offside front brake binding and thin pads on both rear axles. These issues represent a progression from the November 2024 test at 10,582 miles, where both front and rear brake discs were already flagged for being pitted and scored. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,775 miles per year. Between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, the car covered only 3,295 miles. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle likely sits for extended periods, which directly correlates with the surface pitting and scoring observed on the brake discs. Low-mileage vehicles driven infrequently often fail to clear rust from the rotors, leading to accelerated corrosion and premature component wear despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the offside front caliper has been properly serviced or replaced to resolve the binding. The recurring mentions of pitting and scoring across all discs indicate that the braking hardware is reacting to moisture from stationary use. It is also necessary to check the condition of rubber seals and suspension bushes, as long-term stationary vehicles can suffer from perish rot and cracking that mileage figures alone do not prevent.
