The vehicle remains roadworthy based on the most recent inspection, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent mechanical issue that remains unaddressed. In the December 2025 test at 32,604 miles, the tester flagged a noisy nearside rear wheel bearing. This specific fault was also noted during the November 2024 test at 25,978 miles, indicating that the component has not been replaced despite the thirteen-month interval between tests. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Data shows steady annual growth, with roughly 4,800 miles covered between the 2024 tests and another 6,600 miles recorded by December 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, infrequent use often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, which aligns with the recurring tyre perishing and cracking observed in the 2023 and 2024 records. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the nearside rear wheel assembly, as the noise has persisted across two years and suggests imminent bearing failure. The history also highlights a pattern of neglect regarding tyre maintenance, with records of tyres reaching the legal limit in 2022 and subsequent sidewall cracking in 2023 and 2024. The buyer should check for flat spotting and rot across all tyres, as the low mileage usage often leads to rubber drying out before the tread wears down.
