The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards reactive component replacement. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 29,035 miles passed, the tester identified both front tyres as being worn near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern seen in 2025 where rear tyres were flagged for perishing and damage, suggesting that the owner only addresses tyre replacements once they reach critical thresholds. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,600 miles since. This low mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it increases the risk of degradation in rubber elements, as evidenced by the cracking noted in the July July 2025 advisory. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber, which was noted for having light oil misting in 2024 at 16,308 miles. Although this did not cause a failure then, oil misting often precedes a seal failure that will eventually require strut replacement. The uneven wear on the front tyres recorded in the 2026 test also warrants a professional wheel alignment check to prevent premature wear of any new rubber. Additionally, the condition of the front wipers should be verified to ensure the smearing issue reported in 2024 has been fully resolved.
