2002 NOBLE M12 GTO2.5L Petrol

The Noble M12 GTO presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA test. The tester passed the car with no defects recorded on 10 June 2025 at 52,598 miles. The maintenance trend shows a clean and stable record at the latest examination, with no advisories or outstanding mechanical concerns flagged. The recorded mileage of 52,598 miles against a 2002 build date equates to roughly 2,192 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light use for a 24-year-old vehicle. Only two MOT entries exist in the supplied history. The car failed on 28 May 2025 at 52,593 miles yet the tester logged no defects, and it passed twelve days later at 52,598 miles. Such a defect-free failure followed by immediate pass suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse record and low annual accumulation imply long periods of storage, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and subframe for structural rust given the car's age and likely static intervals. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for binding or degradation from inactivity. The clean MOT offers no evidence of recurring wear, but low-mileage classics often hide dried seals and flat-spotted tyres that a short test lane will not expose.
