2010 Proton Savvy 1.1L Petrol · BX10 AOB

The Proton Savvy presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 21 May 2025 at 57,707 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The May 2025 pass came eight days after a failure on 13 May 2025 at the same mileage, yet the tester logged no defects on either certificate. A near-identical pattern occurred in May 2024, where the car failed on 11 May at 55,077 miles and passed three days later with no defects noted. These paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. At roughly 16 years old the vehicle shows 57,707 miles, an average of about 3,607 miles per year, which is low for its age and implies light use or extended periods off the road. The odometer moved only 1,930 miles between the February 2023 test at 53,147 miles and the May 2024 failure at 55,077 miles, then added 2,630 miles to the May 2025 tests. The sparse, clean record with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across all five entries gives little evidence of wear-driven neglect, though the repeated no-defect failures hint the previous owner may have faced paperwork or retest scheduling friction rather than skipped upkeep. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's 2010 build date and likely standing periods, as MOT advisories for rust often go unlogged until critical. The binding calipers, coil springs, and tyre condition cannot be verified from a defect-free record, so a technician should measure brake disc wear and suspension compliance on a ramp. The recurring same-mileage fail-pass cycles warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match and that no suppressed faults exist from the two anomalous 2024 and 2025 failures.
