2016 Scomadi Turismo 0.1L Petrol · BF16 BGO

The vehicle's most recent MOT test, conducted on 21st August 2023 at 11,614 miles, passed with no defects recorded. This suggests the vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no immediate mechanical concerns. However, the maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with suspension components such as wheel bearings and head bearings. The 2021 and 2020 tests flagged excessive play in front and rear wheel bearings, while the 2020 test also noted slight play in the rear wheel bearing. These recurring faults indicate a potential trend of worsening suspension wear, which may require closer inspection and potential replacement of worn components. The vehicle's mileage pattern is unusually low for its age. Over the past seven years, it has covered approximately 11,614 miles, averaging around 1,161 miles per year. This low mileage suggests either very light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most recent test at 11,614 miles shows no defects, but the previous tests at 9,161 and 7,270 miles also passed without issues. The absence of rapid mileage accumulation or significant wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained during its active periods. However, the low overall mileage may indicate that some components have not yet reached typical wear thresholds. A potential buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension components, particularly the wheel bearings and head bearings, as these have been flagged in multiple tests. The front steering head bearing and front wheel bearing both showed excessive wear or play in the 2021 test, and the rear wheel bearing had slight play in the 2020 test. Additionally, the vehicle's headlamps were noted to be aimed too low in the 2021 test, which may require adjustment. The brake pads were also close to the minimum limit in the 2020 test, suggesting they may need replacement soon. Finally, the vehicle's low mileage may mean that other components, such as the clutch or gearbox, have not yet been stressed, but these should also be inspected for any signs of wear.
