The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of neglected consumable upkeep. While it passed the most recent MOT on 29 May 2026 at 18,065 miles, it had failed just five miles prior. The tester flagged both rear tyres for having tread depths below the legal 1.6mm limit and a front tyre worn unevenly on the edge. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed tyre issues when forced by a test failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between the May 2025 test at 16,035 miles and the May 2026 test at 18,065 miles, the car covered only 2,030 miles. This low-frequency usage pattern can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or flat-spotting tyres, though the primary concern here is the failure to monitor tyre wear over these long intervals intervals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the report of a front tyre worn on the edge in the May 2026 test suggests a potential tracking issue or worn bushes. Given the recurring nature of tyre-related failures across both 2025 and 2026, a physical inspection should also check for uneven wear across the remaining rubber. The record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or mechanical failures, but the lack of attention to basic consumables suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle care.
