Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 70,654 miles passed with a minor advisory for a worn offside front Macpherson strut pin or bush. This follows a period of clean records interrupted by a mechanical failure, suggesting that while the car remains fundamentally sound, specific suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The recorded mileage of 70,654 miles over 11 years represents an average usage of approximately 6,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-medium usage patterns. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 9,500 miles covered between September 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which helps prevent rubber perish and brake seizing. A buyer should scrutinise the front end suspension and braking system specifically. The September 2024 failure at 61,112 miles revealed a fractured offside front coil spring, pitted brake discs, and thin nearside front pads. While these were clearly replaced to achieve the subsequent pass, the 2025 advisory regarding the strut pin or bush indicates the front suspension geometry is now showing wear. A physical inspection should check for play in the steering components and verify that the previous brake repairs were executed with high-quality parts to avoid premature corrosion.
