1904 RENAULT 0.7L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly questionable due to a significant lapse in testing and the state of the final inspection. The last recorded test in October 2012 shows a marked decline in mechanical standards compared to the clean records found in 2006 and 2007. The vehicle failed to meet critical safety thresholds regarding service brake efficiency and steering precision, suggesting a worsening trend of neglect prior to the vehicle being taken out of use or recorded testing. Data regarding mileage is insufficient to establish a usage pattern or to assess wear relative to the age. There are no mileage figures provided for the 2012 test, making it impossible to determine if the vehicle has been driven regularly or sat stationary for years. Given that more than fourteen years have passed since the last MOT entry, the current state of all components, including seals, fluid integrity, and structural de-lamination, remains entirely unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and braking systems, as the 2012 tester flagged free play in the steering wheel and the off-side front steering joint. These issues indicate wear in the linkage that requires attention. The report that brake efficiency only just met the legal threshold suggests the hydraulic system needs immediate adjustment or a rebuild. Furthermore, the reported oil leak noted in 2012 must be traced to ensure it has not resulted in catastrophic engine failure or fire risk over the long period of inactivity.
