The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a defect-free MOT test in March 2026 at 29,520 miles. This recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the faults identified in the previous year have been addressed. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests the current owner has responded to necessary repairs to bring the car back to a required operating standard. At five years of age, the recorded mileage of 29,520 miles averages to approximately 5,900 miles per annum. This low-usage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for short trips or kept sparingly. Between the March 2024 test at 12,187 miles and the March 2025 test, the car covered 7,571 miles in a single year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The March 2025 inspection at 19,758 miles highlighted specific concerns regarding both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and a severely deteriorated offside front inner drive shaft CV boot. The failure of a CV boot is a critical point to monitor as grease leakage leads to premature joint failure if not replaced. A buyer should verify that the boot was replaced and that there is no grease spray present around the drive shaft assembly. Additionally, the uneven wear noted on the tyres suggests a potential alignment issue that should be checked to prevent rapid degradation of a new set of rubber.
