1974 PUCH MAXI0.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the lack of recent data is a significant concern. The last recorded MOT test occurred in April 2017 at 8,698 miles passed with no defects, indicating the car was in a compliant condition at that time. However, because no tests have been recorded for over nine years, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified and should be considered unproven without a fresh mechanical and structural inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 167 miles per year over its fifty-two-year life. Between December 2010 and 2017, the vehicle covered only 281 miles, moving from 8,417 to 8,698 miles. This minimal usage suggests the car has been stored for long periods rather than being used for daily commuting. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to issues related to fluid degradation, perished rubber seals, and seizing of mechanical parts due to lack of regular operation. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of structural integrity and rubber components. The 2012 failure regarding structural tears in the centre front and rear tyres highlights a known issue with age-related tyre degradation. Given the long periods of inactivity, the inspector should check for cracked brake lines, perished suspension bushes, and brake calipers that may have seized from sitting. Particular attention must be paid to corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounts, as these are common failure points for vehicles of this era regardless of low mileage.
