2020 Scorpa T-Ride 280 0.3L Petrol · CU20 ACV

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition. The most recent MOT test on 9 April 2025 at 1,933 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of success in previous years, indicating a vehicle that meets the minimum legal safety standards. The mileage is exceptionally low for a six-year-old machine, averaging roughly 322 miles per year. The records show the vehicle remained stationary for over a year between the 28 February 2023 test and the 12 April 2024 test, with the odometer remaining frozen at 1,706 miles. Only 227 miles were added in the subsequent year leading up to the April 2025 inspection. While the MOT history is clean, the pattern of long-term standing presents specific mechanical risks. A buyer should manually check for seized brake calipers and perished rubber seals, as inactivity often leads to binding brakes or fluid leaks. The low usage suggests the engine oil and coolant may have degraded due to age rather than mileage, so verifying the service intervals is essential. Inspect the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. Check the battery health and charging system, as vehicles that sit idle frequently suffer from deep discharge and premature battery failure. Finally, examine the chassis and exposed metal for surface corrosion that can develop when a vehicle is stored in damp environments without regular movement.
