1990 Middlebridge Scimita GTE 2.9L Petrol · G892 BDX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in April 2023 at 189,174 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking on the sidew. This suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods, leading to degradation of rubber components despite the low mileage. The overall condition appears stable but highlights a vulnerability to age-related decay. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,255 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage; for instance, only 13 miles were recorded between the October 2019 and April 2023 tests, and just 571 miles passed between the September 2018 and October 2019 entries. This low frequency of use explains the recurring corrosion observed on brake pipes and brake discs, as the lack of regular operation prevents the natural clearing of moisture from metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and hydraulic fluid lines. The 2019 test identified corrosion on the offside rear, central front, and nearside front brake pipes, while the 2017 record noted pitted and scored front brake discs. Given the history of sitting stationary, a check for internal blockage in the brake lines and seized caliper pistons is essential. Furthermore, the perished tyre sidewalls noted in 2023 necessitate an immediate replacement if they have not been addressed, as structural integrity of the rubber is compromised regardless of tread depth.
