A consistent record of roadworthiness has recently been punctuated by specific tyre degradation, as evidenced by the pass on 7 July 2025 which flagged significant wear and tread damage. While the previous two tests in November 2023 and July 2024 were clear of any defects or advisories, the latest inspection indicates a shift toward required maintenance of the front running gear. The recorded mileage of 28,698 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,783 miles per year. This usage profile indicates a pattern of light use or extended periods of inactivity, which generally results in lower mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain but may increase the likelihood of rubber perishment or tyre deformation. Attention must be paid to the front axle alignment and tyre condition. The specific advisory regarding inner edge wear on both front tyres often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes, which can cause the tyres to scrub. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any steering pull to one side or a lack of centering in the steering wheel when travelling straight. The presence of multiple cuts in the tread of the front tyres requires a close physical inspection to ensure no structural damage to the carcass. Listen for any unusual humming or vibration from the front end at motorway speeds, which could indicate uneven wear patterns or compromised tyre integrity. Given the low mileage, ensure the remaining tyres are inspected for flat spots or cracking consistent with prolonged periods of inactivity.
