The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on April 1 2026 at 45,848 miles resulted in a failure due to a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre, a distorted wheel, and a leaking shock absorber. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the recurrence of suspension and wheel-related faults suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached the point of a legal test failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a typical-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,170 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 27,969 miles in June 2024 to 37,059 miles in April 2025, and reaching 45,848 miles by April 2026. This moderate usage suggests the vehicle has not been excessively stressed, yet the presence of play in ball joints and uneven tyre indicates that the components may be suffering from premature wear or poor alignment despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the history flagged play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint in 2024 and a distorted wheel in 2026. The misting oil on the nearside front shock absorber indicates a failing seal that will likely require replacement soon to prevent a total damping failure. Furthermore, the recorded outer-edge wear on the offside front tyre from 2024 suggests a persistent alignment issue that needs to be verified to avoid rapid premature degradation of new tyres.
