The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a developing issue with brake component corrosion. The most recent test on June 8 2026 at 22,484 miles passed despite the tester flagging pitting and scoring on both front inner and rear outer brake discs. This mirrors the findings from the previous year in June 2025 at 18,832 miles, where the same defects contributed to an initial failure alongside a cut in the nearside rear tyre. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,750 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between 2023 and 2026, with the car covering roughly 3,600 to 4,600 miles between each annual inspection. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it explains the recurring brake issues observed. Vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from moisture, which leads to the surface corrosion and pitting on the iron brake discs seen in this MOT history. A buyer should prioritize a close inspection of the brake assembly and calipers. The recurring pitting on the discs indicates oxidation or surface rust due to low use, which can eventually lead to uneven pad wear or binding calipers if the pistons seize. It is also worth verifying the nearside rear tyre to ensure the replacement following the 2025 failure was fitted correctly and maintains adequate tread depth. Since no structural defects or mechanical failures were recorded in the 2023 or 2024 tests, the primary concern remains the age-related corrosion on low-mileage braking components.
