- Recurring exhaust advisories (2023-12-15, 2026-02-16) and shock absorber advisories (2026-02-16).
- Mileage trajectory shows very low annual usage (e.g., +1,183 miles in 2025), raising odometer fraud concerns.
Working in its favour

- No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
- Engine failure in 2023 was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
