The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 88,715 miles passed with an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit on the edge. This follows a pattern of deferred consumable maintenance seen in previous years, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold during annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There was a significant jump in usage between November 2023 (61,760 miles) and December 2024 (78,363 miles), where the car covered over 16,000 miles in just thirteen months. This increased activity contrasts with the lower mileage patterns seen earlier in the life between 2021 and 2022, which likely explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The December 2024 test flagged thin brake pads and pitted, scored discs on both rear wheels, while the 2022 record noted front tyres wearing unevenly on the inner edges. These recurring issues indicate a potential misalignment or worn suspension bushes and components that are causing premature tyre degradation. The buyer should check for uneven tread wear on all current tyres and ensure the rear brake components have been fully replaced rather than merely surfaced.
