2007 Perodua Myvi 1.3L Petrol · DK57 BKZ

The Perodua Myvi remains roadworthy on paper, with the most recent test on 16 December 2022 at 173,569 miles returning a pass. The maintenance trend is stable but shows persistent minor suspension wear rather than any worsening structural failure. The tester flagged worn front suspension arm pins and bushes on both sides, though neither exhibited excessive movement, and noted pre-existing front body damage. These are consumable and age-related faults consistent with a nineteen-year-old vehicle. Recorded mileage rose from 140,368 in November 2019 to 145,097 at the November 2021 failure, then to 173,569 by December 2022, averaging roughly 9,135 miles per year across its life. The jump of over 28,000 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests indicates heavier use in that final recorded year, while the 2019 to 2021 period reflected lighter annual coverage. The record shows no gaps beyond the standard annual cycle, and the clean 2022 pass suggests the owner addressed the earlier anti-roll bar and tyre defects. Recurring faults centre on the front suspension and a long-standing oil leak. The November 2021 failure recorded a seriously weakened near-side front anti-roll bar linkage, later repaired to a non-serious state for the pass later that month. The December 2020 test showed corroded suspension components and cracked rear shock absorber bushes, while front suspension arm bushes wore further by 2022. A buyer should physically inspect the front subframe and suspension mounts for corrosion progression and confirm the anti-roll bar linkages and arm bushes remain within tolerance. The persistent non-excessive front oil leak, present since at least 2019, implies the previous owners tolerated minor seepage rather than pursuing a repair. Rear tyres showed cracking and perishing across three consecutive tests from 2020 to 2021, pointing to neglected rubber replacement. Verify the current tyre condition and trace the engine oil leak to its source before purchase, as the MOT history alone does not confirm post-2022 remedial work.
