The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical care. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 16,605 miles, the car failed initially due to front tyre damage, wear, and a faulty wiper. While it passed immediately following these repairs, the recurring nature of failures suggests that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance between service intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,372 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 12,215 miles and November 2024 at 14,431 miles, the car covered only 2,216 miles. This low usage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but explains the persistent presence of tyre perishing and cracking noted in 2024 and 2025, as rubber components degrade due to age and stationary periods despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, as the 2024 test flagged both rear coil springs as corroded. Although these were likely replaced or addressed following the failure, corrosion on suspension components can lead to sudden structural failure if not monitored. The tyres also should be inspected specifically for sidewall cracking and flat spots caused by age rather than mileage, as the record shows a history of perishing rubber across multiple tests. Additionally, verify the wiper blades and motor mechanism to ensure the previous failures regarding visibility have been permanently resolved with high-quality parts.
