The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear and deferred attention. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 67,564 miles passed, it introduced several new advisories regarding brake components and suspension hardware that were not present in the 2022 inspection. The presence of a nearside front binding brake caliper and thin pads indicates that while the car is legal to drive, the consumables are now reaching their service limit despite the low mileage. At 33 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,564 miles is exceptionally low, averaging just over 2,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-use patterns, with only 1,123 miles driven between June 2024 and June 2025. However, low mileage often masks the degradation of rubber-based components and seals. The persistent engine-relatedive oil leak recorded in every test since 2023 suggests a long-standing issue that is typical of a vehicle that sits stationary for extended periods between trips. A buyer must focus inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints have shown multiple failures and deterioration since 2023. The transition from failed dust covers in 2023 to severely deteriorated covers in 2025 suggests the rubber components are cracking due to age rather than use. Additionally, the binding nearside front brake caliper requires a close look to ensure the piston is not seizing, which could lead to uneven tyre wear or overheating. The recurring engine oil leak should be monitored to determine if it is a simple gasket seep or a more significant seal failure that could worsen over time.
