2018 CAN-AM Traxter 0.8L Petrol · WJ68 AEG

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile that shows signs of worsening component wear despite passing its most recent test. The November 2025 MOT at 6,591 miles flagged both nearside and offside front inner suspension arm pins or bushes as worn. While the tester noted these did not result in excessive movement, this follows a period of relative stability in 2024. The transition from a clean sheet in October 2024 to suspension advisories in late 2025 suggests that rubber components are beginning to degrade. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage, averaging approximately 824 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. The recorded distance grew from 1,468 miles in October 2021 to 6,591 miles in November 2025. While low mileage often implies less mechanical strain, the long intervals between significant mileage increases can lead to the degradation of rubber bushes and seals due to age rather than friction. The data shows a consistent, albeit slow, accumulation of distance. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the front-end steering and suspension assembly. The record shows a recurring trend of steering issues, specifically free play in the steering rack detected in November 2022 and a front steering rack inner joint play noted in November 2023. Although the 2024 test showed no defects, the recent suspension arm bush advisories suggest the front end is currently the primary area of concern. I recommend a physical inspection of the steering rack for any remaining play and a thorough check of the suspension bushings to ensure the wear has not progressed beyond the advisory stage.
