1991 PROTON GL1.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1991 Proton GL was recorded on 2007-09-12, over 15 years ago. Since then, no further MOT entries have been documented, leaving a significant gap in the vehicle’s inspection history. The last recorded mileage was 74,481 miles, which equates to roughly 2,128 miles per year over 35 years. This low mileage suggests the vehicle may have seen minimal use or long periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like rubber component degradation, seized mechanisms, or undetected corrosion. The MOT history reveals recurring tyre-related issues. The 2006-09-02 failure cited three tyres with tread depths below the 1.6mm legal limit, while the 2007-09-12 pass noted near-limit wear on both front tyres. This pattern indicates potential neglect in tyre maintenance or a lack of regular use, which can accelerate tread wear in stationary vehicles. The 2006 failure also highlighted a major exhaust leak, a horn malfunction, and a missing mirror—issues that, if unresolved, could compromise safety and compliance. The trend from 2006 to 2007 shows improvement, as the 2007 MOT passed with no defects, suggesting repairs were made to address the 2006 failures. However, the persistence of tyre wear near legal limits raises concerns about ongoing maintenance practices.
