1991 Vauxhall Nova 1.6L Petrol · H990 EPO

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards, as the most recent MOT test on 10 November 2025 at 59,813 miles was passed with no defects. This indicates an improved maintenance trend compared to the 2019 test on 17 May 2019, which was also a pass but at a lower mileage of 58,919 miles. The steady progression from 58,919 to 58,763 miles suggests that the car has maintained its mechanical integrity without the accumulation of critical wear items. The mileage pattern reveals that while the vehicle has maintained a relatively low annual mileage of approximately 1,709 miles, this is consistent with its age of 35 years. The absence of gaps or rapid mileage accumulation between the 2017, 2016, and 2019 tests confirms that the mechanical components have not deteriorated due to excessive driving. However, the 2017 test on 18 March 2017 is notable for showing light cracking in the osr tyres and a small exhaust blow, which are minor consumables that do not constitute a serious structural risk. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the osr tyres and the exhaust system, as these were identified as light defects in the 2017 MOT record. If the osr tyres show signs of cracking, the vehicle may require a full tyre change or a fresh exhaust to be installed. The absence of any other recurring faults or structural issues indicates that the vehicle is currently roadworthy, provided that the owner performs routine checks for the osr tyres and exhaust as part of their regular maintenance schedule.
