The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive consumable replacement. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 30,527 miles passed with an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, this follows a failure period in November 2024 where the car failed inspection due to perished tyres and incorrectly adjusted headlamp aim. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to recurring defects suggests the owner is only addressing issues once they fail. At six years old, the recorded mileage of 30,527 miles is significantly below average, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data indicates a notable period of inactivity between June 2023 at 12,895 miles and November 2023 at 14,624 miles, followed by a more rapid increase in usage thereafter. This low mileage profile likely explains the rubber degradation noted in the 2024 test, as tyres on vehicles that sit for long periods suffer from cracking and perishing due to age and UV exposure rather than simple tread wear. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the four set of tyres to check for further sidewall cracking or uneven wear, as the history shows a recurring failure to maintain these components. The nearside front edge wear noted in the 2025 advisory also indicates a potential alignment issue, which warrants a check of the suspension bushes and tracking components. Since no structural corrosion or mechanical failures have appeared in the history, the primary focus should remain on the condition of rubber parts and ensuring the low-mileage engine has not suffered from fluid degradation during long periods of standing.
