1991 VAUXHALL CALIBRA2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT entry for this 1991 Vauxhall Calibra is dated 2010-11-10, over 16 years ago. This raises immediate concerns, as MOT tests are valid for one year and would require retesting. No subsequent MOT records are provided, suggesting the vehicle may not have been legally tested or maintained in recent years. The last recorded mileage of 92,416 miles aligns with the 2010 test, but without updated records, it is unclear if the vehicle has been driven or stored since then. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with corrosion, suspension components, and braking systems. Notably, nearside front constant velocity (CV) joint gaiters were repeatedly flagged as split or insecurely mounted in 2010 and 2009, indicating potential ongoing wear or neglect. Corrosion on brake pipes, seat belt anchorages, and suspension mounts appears to be a persistent problem, with multiple mentions of “excessive corrosion” or “slight corrosion” across tests from 2008 to 2010. These defects suggest exposure to moisture or lack of maintenance, which could accelerate deterioration. The trend of defects shows a shift from minor issues in 2008–2009 to more severe failures in 2010, including ABS faults, parking brake deficiencies, and a punctured tyre. While the 2009 MOT was passed, the 2010 tests resulted in failures, implying a worsening condition.
