Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards developing wear-related faults. While it passed the most recent test in February 2026 at 149,676 miles, the tester identified new defects including an oil leak, worn front suspension arm bushes, and pitted front brake discs. This represents a decline from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, indicating that various mechanical components are now reaching the end of their service life. At 23 years old, the recorded mileage of 149,676 miles reflects an annual average of approximately 6,500 miles, which is consistent with a luxury SUV of this age. The usage pattern appears steady, with a gap of 2,360 miles recorded between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 4,144 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This consistent interval suggests regular use, which often leads to the gradual degradation of rubber and metal components despite relatively low mileage. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with upper arm bushes and track rod end covers. The persistent oil leak noted in both 2025 and 2026 requires a thorough check to determine if the source is a simple gasket or a more significant seal. The corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar flagged in 2025 should be monitored closely to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis does not degrade, despite currently being classified as not seriously weakened.
