2001 CCM 604 E 0.6L Petrol · G25 CCM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-30 passed without any recorded defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current UK standards. The history shows a stable pattern of compliance, with no recurring advisories or failures since 2023—though the 2024-05-22 test, just six days before a failure, is unusual and warrants scrutiny. The lack of defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to serious mechanical or structural issues in the past year. However, the abrupt failure in 2024—despite passing the preceding test—implies either a critical component nearing failure or a potential oversight in pre-test maintenance. The recorded mileage of 5,292 miles over approximately 25 years equates to roughly 212 miles annually, a figure far below average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate degradation of fluids, seals, and rubber components. The most recent MOT test occurred just over a year ago, meaning the vehicle has not been subject to a formal inspection since then. While low mileage typically reduces wear on high-stress parts like suspension bushes or brake calipers, it also increases the risk of neglected maintenance—such as stale brake fluid, degraded hoses, or corrosion from standing water. Given the sparse MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are prone to deterioration even with minimal use. The brakes, despite no recorded failures, should be checked for binding calipers, uneven wear, or corrosion on the discs and callipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity is another concern; rust penetration around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be examined closely, as low mileage does not negate the risk of environmental corrosion. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be verified for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are common failure points in older vehicles with irregular use.
