VAUXHALL MIDI1991 · 2.2L DIESEL

The 1991 Vauxhall Midi presents a sparse MOT record with only a single test entry documented. On 25 September 2006, at 120,700 miles, the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. That test occurred nearly twenty years ago, leaving a significant gap in verified roadworthiness. Without subsequent MOT entries, no meaningful maintenance trend can be established. The vehicle's current mechanical condition remains unconfirmed by any recent official assessment. The recorded mileage of 120,700 miles across approximately 35 years equates to a low annual average of roughly 3,449 miles, suggesting light use or extended periods of standing. The sole recorded test in September 2006 captured the odometer at this figure, and no further mileage progression is documented. Whether the vehicle has remained stationary, been driven sparingly, or had its mileage genuinely plateaued cannot be determined from the available data. The absence of any MOT entries since 2006 raises questions about whether the vehicle has been kept in regular use or stored for long stretches, both of which carry distinct mechanical implications. A buyer arranging an in-person inspection should pay particular attention to components that deteriorate with age and inactivity rather than mileage alone. Tyres, rubber suspension bushes, and brake seals harden and perish over time regardless of use, so cracking or perishing on original or aged parts would be expected. Brake calipers may have seized or stuck, and discs and drums are likely corroded from standing. The exhaust system, fuel lines, and flexible hoses should be examined thoroughly for rust and perishing. Structural integrity, particularly around sills, subframes, and mounting points, warrants close inspection given the vehicle's age and the absence of any recent corrosion checks. The lack of recurring fault data means no pattern of mechanical neglect or resolution can be identified. A professional pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised before any commitment.
