The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a minor trend of deferred attention to peripheral wear items. The most recent test in June 2025 at 27,899 miles passed with advisories regarding tyre condition and track rod end dust covers. While the car passes without failures, the recurrence of rubber-related issues suggests that the previous owner addressed faults only when they reached an inspection threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,650 miles per annum. The data shows consistent progression, moving from 21,922 miles in 2023 to 25,248 miles in 2024, and finally 27,899 miles in 2025. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it explains the presence of tyre perishing and rubber degradation noted in the record. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the June 2025 test flagged cracking and perishing on the offside rear, while the 2023 report noted uneven wear on the front tyres. The presence of damaged track rod end dust covers on both sides indicates the beginning of suspension component wear, which should be monitored for play or grease leakage to prevent premature joint failure. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that sit for long periods.
