The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failure on August 27, 2025 at 11,209 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening, as the machine has progressed from minor lighting advisories to significant mechanical failures in the suspension. The most recent test identified a worn front brake disc and both front and rear shock absorbers with insufficient damping, indicating a sharp decline in suspension integrity compared to the state recorded during the September 2024 pass. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 800 miles per year. However, there is a notable gap in recorded data between April 2021 at 1,701 miles and August 2025 at 11,209 miles. This period of over four years with relatively low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals, as evidenced by the cracking front tyre noted in September 2024. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a recurring history of issues including excessively binding rear brakes in 2021 and fluctuating brake effort in 2024. The current failure of the front brake disc requires immediate attention. Furthermore, the steering head bearing should be checked for notches or stiffness as this was flagged in 2024, and the electrical system requires testing due to multiple reports of discoloured or dim de-indicators that have appeared across four consecutive test cycles.
