The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of unresolved suspension issues. In the most recent test in March 2025 at 17,696 miles, the vehicle passed despite carrying advisories for both shock absorbers. Specifically, the offside front shock absorber continues to show oil leakage, and the rear shock absorber retains a worn bush. These faults were also identified in previous tests, indicating that while the components are monitored, they have not been replaced. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,770 miles per year. This low usage suggests the machine has spent significant stationary, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear. There is a three-year gap in records between May 2019 and November 2022, during which the vehicle covered only 1,695 miles. The rapid accumulation of 2,358 miles between November 2022 and March 2023 indicates a period of more intensive use which triggered the subsequent mechanical failures. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension assembly and wheel bearings. The failure in October 2023 for a rough front wheel bearing is a serious safety concern that required rectification, so the repair should be verified for any remaining play or noise. The recurring oil misting on the offside front shock suggests a failing seal that will eventually lead to a total loss of damping function. Additionally, the worn rear shock bush should be checked for excessive movement or cracking, as this has remained a noted advisory for over two years without intervention.
