Apply swiss vax leather milk after cleaning. Let soak for 24 hrs then apply their elephant leather fat. Should do the trick

Is that likely to restore the colour where it's faded though?

I too have seen this - and frankly, it's not great on a car that cost so much. I've got a car with 20 year old leather and nearly 200k miles that looks as faded!

that is not FADE.

That is CRACKING probably due to lack of proper leather conditioners.

Mine was like too actually worse and I got it fixed by a interior restoration bloke but it started to crack do the same thing again after 6 months so I'll leave it.

Surprised yours has taken so long man many owners were even seeing wear and permanent creases within the first week. Terrible quality these cars.
