The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable and gradually improving maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 3 June 2026 at 40,864 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This follows two years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, indicating that previous mechanical issues identified by testers have been addressed or have not progressed into failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-interval usage, with only 1,288 miles recorded between the June 2025 and June 2026 tests. This low annual mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the risk ofrelated degradation in rubber-based seals and brake components if the vehicle has sat for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of bushing wear. The 2022 test at 34,252 miles flagged worn bushes on both front lower suspension arm pins, followed by worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both front and rear in 2023. While these did not result in failures at time, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the rubber components are beginning to age and perish despite the low mileage. The braking system also warrants a close look, specifically regarding the pitting and scoring on the offside front brake disc noted in 2022. Given the low usage, corrosion on the discs and calipers is more likely than friction-based wear. Ensure the brake calipers are not seized and that the surface of the discs remains smooth, as the low mileage may have allowed surface rust to develop on the metalwork.
