The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of age-related wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 36,032 miles identified worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension reaction arms. While these did not result in excessive movement or a failure, they indicate that the rubber components in the chassis are beginning to degrade, marking a shift from the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,147 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the car covered only 8,026 miles, suggesting a period of minimal use. However, usage increased significantly in the following two years, with the vehicle covering 20,418 miles between the March 2023 test at 15,614 miles and the November 2025 test. This increase in activity likely correlates with the appearance of the suspension wear noted in the November 2025 inspection. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly to assess if the reaction arm bushes have deteriorated beyond the advisory level. Since the tester flagged both front sides simultaneously, the wear is likely due to age and material fatigue rather than a specific impact. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for flat-spotting tyres or brake disc corrosion, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop surface rust. The previous defective wiper blade noted in February 2024 was a minor consumable issue and does not suggest a broader mechanical neglect of the vehicle.
