The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred consumable replacements. In the most recent test on December 8, 2025 at 71,214 miles, the tester flagged an offside front inner tyre worn to the legal limit and thin rear brake pads. While the car passed, the recurring nature of these advisories across multiple years suggests that the previous owner tended to address components only when they reached failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 48,596 miles in February 2022 to 71,214 miles in December 2025. This regular interval indicates standard road use rather than long periods of stagnation which can often lead to dry rot or brake caliper seizing. However, the low annual mileage does not account for the specific wear patterns observed on the tyres, which consistently show inner shoulder wear across the front and rear axles. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment. The persistent reports of tyres worn specifically on the inner shoulders and edges, dating back to 2022 at 55,926 miles and continuing through 2025, strongly indicate a misalignment issue or worn control arm bushes and ball joints. This type of wear accelerates the degradation of otherwise expensive rubber components. Furthermore, the thin rear brake pads noted in the December 2025 test require immediate attention to ensure the brake discs have not been scored or damaged by metal-on-metal contact.
