The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent test history indicates a decline in proactive maintenance. While the van passed its July 2024 inspection without defects, the June 2025 test at 58,079 miles resulted in a failure across multiple categories. The tester identified a nearside front track rod end ball joint with play and both rear tyres reaching the legal wear limit, suggesting that the owner is only addressing mechanical faults and consumable items after an inspection failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,453 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a notable gap between the September 2022 test at 26,665 miles and the July 2024 test at 47,501 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in two years. This period of higher usage explains the wear on components noted in the latest MOT, though the overall low annual mileage suggests the drivetrain and structural components have not faced high-intensity constant operation. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the track rod end issue has not caused secondary wear on the steering rack or front tyres. The recurring mention of edge wear on the rear tyres indicates a potential alignment issue or overloaded rear axle that requires a professional check to diagnose. Given the failure for insufficient washer fluid in 2025, a thorough check of all fluid levels and wiper condition is necessary to confirm that basic upkeep has not been neglected by the previous owner.
