Test dates are regular and the record contains no gaps or anomalies. A prospective buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, and examine the exhaust system for rust or leaks. Given the vehicle’s age, a visual assessment of the chassis and floor panels for structural corrosion is advisable. Tyre tread depth and condition merit close attention despite low mileage, as prolonged static periods can affect rubber compounds. Verify wiper blade condition, battery health, and obtain any available service logs to confirm that routine保养 was performed.
