2007 Proton Savvy 1.1L Petrol · NK07 AHV

The current roadworthiness status of this vehicle is uncertain and high-risk. The most recent MOT entry on 6 October 2021 resulted in a failure at 76,189 miles. Since that date, there are no records of a successful test, meaning the vehicle has been without a valid MOT for nearly five years. This creates a significant gap in the maintenance trend and suggests the car has been stationary or off the road for a prolonged period. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2007 model, averaging roughly 4,010 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 68,934 miles in December 2019 to 76,189 miles in October 2021. However, the total lack of mileage accumulation since late 2021 confirms the vehicle has likely suffered from long-term standing. Low mileage in an older car often masks degradation caused by inactivity rather than wear from use. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Long periods of standing frequently lead to binding calipers, seized brake discs, and perished tyre sidewalls. The absence of specific defect data in the MOT history is unusual and makes it impossible to track recurring mechanical issues, but the failure in 2021 without a subsequent pass is a major red flag. Particular attention should be paid to structural integrity and corrosion. Older vehicles left idle are prone to chassis rust and fuel system degradation. Check for leaks in the suspension bushes and ensure the engine starts and runs without hesitation, as fuel stagnation and battery failure are common after a five-year hiatus.
