The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding tyre-related defects. While the most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 12,782 miles passed, the tester identified cracking and perishing on the nearside front and rear tyres. This follows a similar June 2024 report where all four tyres were flagged for perishing alongside a nail in the nearside rear tyre. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,130 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 9,780 miles and the June 2024 test at 10,484 miles, the car covered only 704 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, which explains the rubber degradation and tyre perishing noted in the more recent MOT records despite the lack of significant tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all tyres to check for flat spots and deep-seated sidewall cracking, as the record indicates the rubber is failing age rather than mileage. The low mileage also necessitates a check of the brake system for seized calipers or surface rust on the discs due to lack of frequent use. Additionally, the suspension bushings and rubber components should be inspected for cracking, as these often perish on vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations.
