The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards mechanical wear and deferred component replacement. While it passed its latest test in August 2025 at 41,255 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to a series of suspension and braking issues suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related degradation is overtaking the relatively low mileage. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The record shows consistent usage patterns between 2021 and 2024, where the car covered roughly 7,000 miles per annual interval. However, the jump of over 7,600 miles between September 2024 and August 2025 coincides with the appearance of several defects. Low-mileage usage often leads to surface corrosion on brake components and rubber degradation in suspension bushes, which appears evident in the most recent inspection results. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The 2025 test flagged worn inner rear upper suspension arm bushes and pitted front brake discs, following similar disc corrosion noted in 2023. The light misting on the offside front shock absorber indicates a developing leak that will eventually require replacement to maintain handling geometry. Furthermore, the reported distortion on both the nearside and offside front inner wheels should be checked for impact damage or structural fatigue, which could cause uneven tyre wear or vibrations.
