Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by four consecutive clean MOT passes without defects. The most recent test conducted on 24 June 2025 at 14,024 miles returned no defects or advisories. This historical consistency suggests that the vehicle has remained in a preserved condition and avoided the common mechanical or structural failures that typically plague older luxury grand tourers. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 935 miles per year. Between March 2022 and June 2025, the car covered only 2,487 miles, moving from 13,537 to 14,024 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests suggest significant periods of stationary time. Such patterns can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry. Despite the clean record, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of components sensitive to low-mileage storage. Priority should be given to tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The braking system should be checked for seized calipers or corrosion on the discs resulting from lack of use to clear surface rust. Additionally, the air suspension system, if equipped, needs to be inspected for leaks or perished bushings, as these components often fail due to the age of the material and exposure during long-term storage.
