The vehicle has covered 89,634 miles, which averages to approximately 2,988 miles per year. This is low mileage for a 30 year old vehicle, which may suggest periods of under use or long periods standing. This type of usage can lead to the perishing of rubber components and other age-related wear. The historical MOT data shows a pattern of age-related mechanical issues.

These issues represented a stable pattern of wear related to the vehicle's age during the recorded period.
