This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 16 December 2024 at 35,969 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the car failed a test on 15 November 2024, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately before the successful retest a month later. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,496 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between June 2023 and December 2024, where the odometer rose from 23,360 to 35,969 miles. This indicates the car has been driven more frequently in the last two years compared to its earlier history, which saw a modest increase of 3,960 miles between June 2022 and June 2023. The absence of advisories across four tests suggests a high standard of maintenance or very light duty. However, low mileage vehicles often suffer from dormant issues. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack from age regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often leads to oxidation on the rotors. Given the low annual mileage, verify that the engine oil and coolant show no signs of degradation or contamination. Checking for battery health is also recommended, as cars that stand for long periods are prone to premature battery failure.
