2018 Scomadi TL 200 0.2L Petrol · PE67 UGT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test conducted in April 2026 at 748 miles resulted in a pass but identified a rear tyre worn dangerously close to the legal limit. This follows a failure in February 2025 for a non-functional nearside rear indicator, suggesting that while the vehicle remains operational, the owner tends to address specific faults when prompted by an inspection failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 94 miles per year. There are significant gaps between tests, such as the twenty-one month period between July 2021 and February 2025, during which the vehicle covered only 77 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk associated with long periods of stationary storage. Vehicles that sit for extended durations often suffer from perished rubber components, flat-spotted, and fluid degradation. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on components that degrade through inactivity. The tester should check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or seized calipers, as lack of use often leads to surface rust pitting. The suspension bushes and rubber mounts should be examined for cracking or dry rot, which occurs regardless of mileage. Given the recent MOT advisory regarding a worn tyre, a thorough check of the age and compound condition of all tyres is essential to ensure they have not become brittle despite having sufficient tread depth.
