The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent MOT test indicates a decline in basic maintenance standards. While the car passed its 2024 and 2025 inspections with no defects, the June 2026 test at 24,672 miles flagged multiple failures related to the tyres. This shift suggests that while the vehicle was previously maintained, consumable items are now being neglected despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The progression from 14,748 miles in June 2024 to 20,108 miles in June 2025, and finally 24,672 miles in 2026, shows steady but minimal usage. Low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the tyre set immediately. The 2026 test noted both the nearside and offside front inner tyres were worn near the legal limit and showing edge wear, alongside cracking or perishing on the sidewalls. This combination of uneven wear and material degradation suggests an alignment issue or age-related decay despite the low mileage. The buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust when the brakes are not used regularly.
