The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening development regarding brake-related components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 15,528 miles resulted in an initial failure due to an incorrectly installed headlamp bulb and braking defects. While the vehicle passed upon immediate retest, the tester flagged a front brake binding and fluctuation in rear brake effort. These issues are recurring, having first appeared as far as December 2022. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,218 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the December 2022 test (9,045 miles) and the December 2024 test (10,835 miles), where the vehicle covered only 1,790 miles over two years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to secondary issues like seized calipers or perished rubber seals, which aligns with the mechanical faults observed in the recent records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to address the persistent front brake binding and rear effort fluctuations. The nature of these faults suggests that the caliper pistons or sliders may be corroded from long periods of inactivity. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding a rear tyre worn to the legal limit indicates that despite the low mileage, consumables are reaching the end of their life through age. The discoloured indicators noted in late 2024 suggest UV damage or age, which should be checked for cracks or housing failure.
