The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding rubber components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 25,117 miles passed, the tester flagged significant perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. This follows a trend seen in April 2023 where all four tyres showed signs of damage or age, suggesting the car likely sits stationary for long periods despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,186 miles per year. Data shows consistent growth, moving from 11,397 miles in April 2023 to 25,117 miles in April 2026. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it explains the premature degradation of the tyres and wiper blades found in the records, as rubber perishes due to time and environmental exposure rather than tread depth. A buyer must inspect the physical condition of all tyres and the wiper system before purchase. The 2023 test at 11,397 miles noted the front tyres were worn to the legal limit and on the edge, which could indicate an alignment issue that remains unaddressed. The April 2024 failure for an ineffective offside front wiper confirms that basic consumable maintenance is overlooked. Given that the April 2026 tester could not access the engine belts due to a dog cage, a manual inspection of these belts for cracking or glazing is essential to ensure they have not become brittle from age.
