SUBARU SAMBAR DUMP1989 · 0.5L Petrol

The Subaru Sambar Dump presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 39,577 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Prior tests on 24 February 2025 at 38,930 miles, 26 October 2023 at 38,901 miles, 30 August 2022 at 38,831 miles, and 19 May 2021 at 38,439 miles all passed with no advisories. No worsening or recurring mechanical faults appear across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits at 39,577 after roughly 37 years, an average of about 1,070 miles per year. The data shows extremely low annual use. Between the May 2021 test at 38,439 miles and the February 2026 test at 39,577 miles the vehicle covered only 1,138 miles across nearly five years. A gap exists between the May 2021 and August 2022 entries of over fifteen months, yet mileage rose just 392 miles. The clean record with sparse, low figures suggests light use and likely prolonged standing periods rather than neglected consumable wear. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on the chassis and dump body, as the Sambar's age and intermittent standing invite rust unseen in a pass-only MOT history. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness from disuse. Verify tyre sidewall condition and brake disc surface, since low mileage does not prevent perishing or pitting. The absence of advisories means no specific component was flagged, but a 1989 Kei truck warrants a physical check beneath the load bed and around the subframes.
