2017 Scomadi Turismo 0.1L Petrol · CK17 CSZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows signs of degradation in mechanical components following long periods of inactivity. The most recent test in May 2026 at 58 miles identified a stiff or notchy steering headbearing, which is a recurring fault from the 2025 inspection. While the vehicle passed the MOT, the persistence of this steering assembly issue suggests that the internal components are seizing or lacking lubrication despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly six miles per year. There is a significant drop in usage between the June 2022 test at 3,125 miles and the May 2026 test where the odometer read only 58 miles. This pattern indicates the vehicle has sat stationary for extended durations, which often leads to the deterioration of rubber components, seized seals, and corrosion on exposed surfaces that are not captured by mileage alone. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the steering column and headbearing, as the repeated 'notchy' feeling indicates the component may require replacement rather than adjustment to ensure safe handling. The 2025 advisory regarding a worn front shock absorber bush and the missing exhaust heat shield further highlight that peripheral hardware has been neglected during periods of storage. You should also check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as long-term storage frequently causes brake calipers to bind or rotors to rust.
