The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking component surfaces and fluid integrity. The most recent test in April 2026 at 62,574 miles identified pitting and scoring on both nearside and offside front brake discs, alongside an oil leak from the rear differential. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of brake disc corrosion across the last three tests suggests that components are being left until they show significant degradation rather than being replaced preventatively. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between the August 2024 test at 53,320 miles and the August 2025 test at 60,024 miles, where the car covered roughly 700 miles. This low-frequency use often contributes to atmospheric corrosion on metal surfaces, which explains the consistent pitting and scoring noted on the discs as the brakes may not generate enough heat to clear away surface moisture. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the pitting has not compromised the structural integrity of the discs. The record from 2024 noted thin rear pads at 2-3mm, which indicates the system was nearing the end of its service life. Furthermore, the differential oil leak has persisted from 2024 through to the 2026 test, indicating a slow seal failure or gasket leak that has not been addressed. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the rubber bushings and suspension components for dry rot, as these materials age through time regardless of mileage driven.
