1998 DAEWOO LANOS1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent MOT test on 28 May 2025 at 65,766 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same day that also listed no defects. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record through its subsequent annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,350 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the car covered only 1,156 miles, moving from 64,610 to 65,766 miles. This low usage frequency indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also raises risks associated with long periods of standing, such as degradation of fluid-based systems, rubber seals, and brake lines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-mileage cars of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and floor pans. Despite the clean MOT history, the lack of use often leads to seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes and dry rubber components. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking and verify the brake system for leaks to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from neglect despite its low mileage figures.
