The vehicle shows signs of a recent decline in maintenance standards, moving from a clean record to a failed test in September 2025. While the most recent test on 15 September 2025 resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed initially due to both front tyres falling below the legal 1.6mm tread depth requirement. The transition from a defect-free certificate in 2024 to multiple advisories in 2025 suggests a shift from proactive upkeep to reactive maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle. The car covered 25,797 miles between its 2024 test and the 2025 test, which represents a significant jump of 14,756 miles in a single year. This is considerably higher than the overall lifetime average of roughly 8,111 miles per year. This sudden increase in annual mileage likely explains the accelerated wear on consumable components like tyres and brake discs. The brake system requires close physical inspection. The September 2025 test flagged pitting and scoring on both front brake discs, alongside general wear on the rear inner discs. Although these were not classified as serious failures, the presence of scoring and pitting indicates the discs are nearing the end of their serviceable life. A buyer should check for any vibration under braking or signs of binding calipers that might have contributed to this uneven surface degradation. Tyre condition and alignment also warrant attention. Since the vehicle failed on front tyre tread depth in late 2025, the current set should be checked for uneven wear patterns. Such patterns could indicate underlying issues with suspension geometry or worn bushes. Given the recent heavy mileage, checking the remaining tread depth and the overall condition of the braking hardware is essential before purchase.
