The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of deferred component replacement. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 29,714 miles passed, the tester flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. This mirrors a defect from the 2025 test at 24,297 miles, indicating that the rear brake condition has persisted rather than being addressed. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, moving from 15,523 miles in March 2023 to nearly 30,000 miles by early 2026. This low mileage often correlates with periods of stationary use, which frequently leads to surface corrosion on iron components like brake discs and exhaust systems, as evidenced by the corroded working surfaces noted in the two most recent tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the pitting has not compromised the structural integrity of the discs. The recurring nature of these advisories suggests the previous owner reacts to MOT failures rather than performing proactive maintenance. Additionally, the suspension should be checked for uneven tyre wear, as the 2026 report noted a tyre worn on the edge, which could indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes.
