The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates the onset of mechanical wear. On 13 January 2026, at 12,498 miles, the tester passed the despite despite a corroded offside rear coil spring. This represents the first defect noted in a three-year history, suggesting that while the vehicle has remained stable until now, components are beginning to show early signs of age-related degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,083 miles per year. Data from the 2023 test at 8,193 miles through the 2025 test at 11,402 miles shows a consistent and slow rate of accumulation. This low usage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long periods between tests can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as flat-spotting or surface corrosion on unexposed metal surfaces as seen in the latest MOT result. A buyer should physically inspect the rear suspension assembly to ensure the corrosion noted on the coil spring has not spread to the mounting points or perished. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use often causes braking components to seize uneven. Verify the condition of rubber bushings and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as these materials age more from time and standing than from mileage alone.
