Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of minor-related failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 June 2025 at 73,050 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum regulatory standards. This follows a successful pass in June 2024 at 61,393 miles, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in addressing potential issues to maintain a clean test record. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in recorded data between May 2022 and June 2024, during which the car covered 6,261 miles. However, the accumulation of 11,657 miles between June 2024 and June 2025 shows a return to higher annual usage. This consistent movement is generally beneficial for a luxury saloon, as it helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with vehicles that sit for extended periods. While the recent records are clean, the failures in May 2022 and June 2024 warrant a close physical inspection of high-wear areas. Since the record does not specify the exact reasons for those previous failures, a buyer must check for signs of wear on suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect the brake calipers for binding or uneven wear and examine the structural integrity of the chassis for emerging corrosion to ensure the previous failures were not indicative of deeper-seated mechanical issues.
