MCC CITY COUPE2002 · 0.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness status for the current date due to a significant gap in its testing history. The last recorded test in October 2015 at 102,031 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just ten days prior. Since there are no MOT records for the past eleven years, the vehicle's current mechanical condition is unverified and potentially hazardous. The maintenance trend prior to the hiatus was stable but the lack of recent data suggests the car has been neglected for over a decade. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,251 miles per year. The data shows a notable gap in activity between October 2011 at 86,532 miles and May 2014 at 97,834 miles. This pattern indicates the car likely sat for long periods or was used sparingly. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts such as seals, hoses, and tyres, which are not captured by mileage-driven wear alone. A physical inspection must focus on structural integrity and the condition of the braking system. The 2013 test flagged corrosion on multiple rear brake pipes, and given the age and likely inactivity, these areas may progressed to significant structural decay or fluid leaks. The 2015 failure also highlighted play in the offside front tie bar and rod, which indicates the suspension components require attention. A buyer should specifically check for dry rot in the tyres, perished suspension bushings, and extensive rust on the chassis that often affects long-term stationary vehicles of this era.
